Terrorist group, Boko Haram has claimed it shot down the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) fighter jet that went missing earlier this week.
The Alpha light attack jet was on a mission to support troops fighting militants in northeastern Borno state when it lost radar contact on Wednesday.
On Friday, the air force stated that the jet may have crashed, according to a militant video released.
