Senator Sirika said: “A military aircraft King Air 350 has just crashed short of our Abuja runway after reporting engine failure enroute Minna and it appears to be fatal. We should remain calm and wait for the outcome of investigations by the military, while we pray for the departed soul/souls if any.”
