Rehearsal flights in and around Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, will continue until October 1, which is Independence Day, according to a statement by Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, the NAF’s director of public relations and information.
In the statement on Wednesday, Gabkwet encouraged members of the public not to panic over the flights. Rather, they should go about their normal businesses as they are well protected.
“The 2022 Nigeria Independence Day Celebration is scheduled to hold on 1 October 2022 at Eagle Square, Abuja and part of the activities lined up for the Celebration include aerial displays by Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft.
“Accordingly, the likelihood of various NAF aircraft on rehearsal flights in and around Abuja skies from now till 1 October 2022 is inevitable.
“Nigerians should therefore not panic on sighting the aircraft but go about their lawful businesses with a sense of pride and confidence that their Air Force will always have their back,” the statement read.
While some security operatives blocked a section of the road, others were spotted learning how to land with a parachute.
During the para jump practice as seen in a viral video, a major accident happened. Many paratroopers fell outside the landing zone, one could be seen landing on top of a car with the help of a torn parachute.
The video of this incident which has now gone viral on social media has sparked a lot of reactions.
