The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Malaysian flight MH370 has not yet been solved monthe after the plane allegedly crashed into the Indian Ocean. With the hundreds of hours, tens of millions of dollars and most cutting edge technology that have been used in the search, no positive nexs yet. Yet another plane seems to be missing, but this time a world away...in Cameroon.
A four-sitter plane that left Kano in Northern Nigeria at 6:00 a.m on Monday June 24th and was scheduled to land at Lebreville at 11 p.m after a stopover at Douala never made it there. Apparently, the plane got missen in Cameroon's airspace after it was handed over to the Cameroon Air Traffic Controllers by their Nigerian counterparts.
Cameroon's aviation authorities have said they did not see the plane on their territory, and all efforts to find the plane have produced no positive results. The Chief Executive of the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority Abdulsalam Ibrahim told the press "The plane has gone out of Nigeria. We handed it to the Cameroon airspace". However, the Cameroonian authorities do not fully agree with his comments, as they claim the plane didn't make it to Douala.
The Cameroonian authorities say the last signal or contact they got from the plane was over the Mungo which is two hours of flight away from Douala. The Cameroonian Search and Rescue (SAR) have not had any sign of the plane yet. The plane is owned by the American company Global Aviation and had only the American pilot on board.
