That Strange Helicopter That Flies In And Out OF Benue Community............Who Owns AB-ANA?

A helicopter described in security circle as ‘mysterious’, flew over, and raised security concern in Opialu Village in Edemoga District of Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State.

The security siege mentality in the highly populated village is not unconnected with the appearance of a similar helicopter shortly before the recent mass killing in Agatu District in the same Benue State.
Information reaching us said that two occupants of  the ‘strange’ helicopter which barely touched the grounds at the St. Theresa LGEA Primary School at Opialu at about 5 pm on March 10th, waved their hands at mainly pupils who were playing football on the mission ground. The helicopter, which did not land, was said to have been close enough for the pupils and others who ran towards it to see that one of the two occupants wore an orange colour dress.

An eye witness account said that the helicopter tried to land twice, came so close and then zoomed off and went away only to return.
Chief Emmanuel Onuh, the Chairperson of the Opialu Community Development Association reported the matter to the Divisional Police Headquarters at Okoga.

The eye witness quoted the number of the helicopter as AB-ANA.
It was suspected that the helicopter is one of the de-commissioned aircraft, either of the Nigerian Air force or one of the charter companies.

Daniel Ojo, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Okpoga, the headquarters of the Okpokwu Local Government Area did not pick his phone today after several attempts but police sources at Okoga confirmed that a report had been lodged at the station.
The police said that the community has been placed on alert even as they warned against taking the law into their own hand.
It was learnt that the police had specifically drawn the attention of the community to anything strange and which could be a bomb on the farms or within it, asking the local chief to, in such instance, alert the police for action.
