himself as the pilot of a missing Nigerian Air

military markings, the first indication that
Nigeria’s homegrown Islamic extremists have the
capability to shoot down aircraft.

as a wing commander, saying he has not seen his
second pilot since the jet was shot down.
Before his beheading, the pilot reportedly gave
his name, rank and date of birth, which is 1975
and also said
“I’m a pilot of the Nigerian air-force. On
September 11th, I was assigned on a mission to
Kawuri, Borno state. During the mission we were
shot down and our aircraft crashed.
To this day, I don’t know the whereabouts of my
second pilot. I was taken into the care of (Boko
Haram). At the time of the crash, I sustained cuts
and broken hand and some other injuries to the
head.
After saying this, the pilot was forced to the
ground and his head chopped off with a pick axe.
