A group of unknown gunmen in the early hours of Sunday, attacked the guard post at Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Helipad at Igbodene in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
This was disclosed in a statement by the NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Vice Marshal, Olatokunbo Adesanya.
The DOPRI noted that, although the NAF personnel on duty were able to repel the attack, an airman paid the supreme sacrifice in the process.
“The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, has immediately ordered an investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the incident” he said.
