Reports have it that a plane from Nigeria bound for Gabon has disappeared.

According to Cameroon Aviation sources, the four-seater plane which was flying via Cameroun on Tuesday suddenly went off the radar.

The plane which is owned by the US company Global Aviation, took off from Kano state at about 6.00pm on Monday enroute Libreville in Gabon, and was scheduled to arrive at  11.00 pm, after a stopover in Douala, Cameroon.

It was reported by the station that the plane did not make it to Douala, and its last contact with the control tower took place in Mongo, which is a two hour- flight from Douala.

The search and rescue operation which is led by Cameroon’s civil aviation authorities are yet to give positive reports about the missing plane.
