Lagos calms residents as Air Force commences night training

Lagos residents have been advised not to panic as the Nigerian Air Force commences night flying training exercise in the state.

The exercise according to the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, will run from Monday, April 18 to Saturday, April 23as from 7.00pm to 11.00pm daily.

It will involve the usage of the C-130 Hercules Aircraft by the Nigerian Air Force and the 201 Heavy Airlift Group.

Mr Ayorinde further explained that the C-130 Hercules Air craft will fly very low in some locations across the state, but assured that residents should not panic as all precautionary and safety measures have been put in place.

He assured that residents should go about their normal duties, as the exercise is to be conducted with a very insignificant discomfort.

“The only unusualness of the exercise is the low flying nature of the air craft and the increase in noise level which will be noticed during the six days exercise, only along the training routes,” Ayorinde said.
