The black box of a Nigerian Air Force Beechcraft 350 jet which crashed on Friday near the Kaduna International Airport has been recovered by the Accident Investigation Bureau, Nigeria (AIB-N) on Saturday.
The aircraft conveyed late Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, and 10 other military personnel who died on Friday.
AIB-N in a statement signed by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Tunji Oketunbi, said its investigators will download and analyse vital information contained in the recorders to ascertain the cause of the ill-feted crash.
The AIB-N, according to its mandate, only probes civil aviation accidents and incidents in Nigeria and not military accidents or incidents. But Oketunbi said the Air Force mandated AIB-N to lead the investigation into the crash.
