Nigeria’s Air Force has said its plane which crashed shortly after take-off from the Abuja airport on Sunday morning killing everyone on board was on a mission to rescue the school children kidnapped last week.

A spokesman said the aircraft was on surveillance operations in Niger State as part of efforts to rescue at least 42 schoolchildren and staff members taken by gunmen from the Government Science School Kagara last Wednesday.

It was reported that one student died during the attack.

Air Vice-Marshal Ibikunle Daramola also added that, on Monday afternoon, the air force had donated the military plane to a joint task force coordinating the rescue operation in Kagara.
