Former vice president of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar took to twitter to mourn the loss of such a great military man.
Atiku Abubakar wrote: It is a dark day for the nation. The loss of COAS Major Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and others today sends a rude shock across Nigeria and our friends worldwide.
I sympathise with the Commander-in-Chief and our armed forces on this sad development. May the Attahiru family and other affected families be comforted, and their memories be a blessing.

..If it was an accident what caused it? Weather, engine failure, pilot error? So many questions! No cover-ups this time! We have a right to know the truth and to be told under what circumstances our COAS & his officers were killed. Accident Investigation Bureau over to you!
