A British Royal spy plane sent to
join the international hunt for the missing Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by
Boko Haram militants has broken down due to technical problems on the way and will be grounded until repairs have been
completed.
The Sentinel R1 was forced to divert to Senegal
with a “technical issue” The unexpected delay is a repeat of last year’s
embarrassment for the UK Ministry of Defense when a C-17 transporter sent to
help French troops in Mali was also temporarily grounded by technical trouble.
David Cameron offered the Sentinel to the Nigerian government to use its
advanced ground scanning radar to hunt for more than 200 school girls abducted
from a school hostel last month.
