Prominent personalities have reacted to the death of Commander-in-Chief, Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru and others in the plane crash that claimed their lives in Kaduna State.

Since the news of his death broke, Nigerians have trooped to social media to mourn with the family of the fallen soldiers as each person called for an investigation into the crash.

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!
