The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has said it has no further information regarding a four-seater plane flying from Nigeria to Gabon via Cameroon which disappeared yesterday, the official News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) has reported.

The plane, owned by the United States company, Global Aviation, took off from Kano at 1800 hours on Monday en route Libreville, in Gabon, where it was scheduled to arrive at 2300 hours, after a stopover in Douala, Cameroon.

Reacting to the incident, NAMA Managing Director, Engineer Ibrahim Abdulsalam, told newsmen yesterday: “The plane has gone out of Nigeria. We handed it over to the Cameroon airspace. It is their score since it did not happen in Nigeria airspace.”

However, the Cameroon Airspace station said the plane, with only the American pilot on board, did not make it to Douala.

It said the last contact the plane had with the control tower took place in Mongo, which is two hours flight from Douala.

Report says that search and rescue operations led by Cameroon’s civil aviation authorities have not yielded any positive results.
