In our story, yesterday: Just in: Chief of Army Staff, Attahiru, wife, others perish in military plane crash, we erroneously reported that Mrs. Fati Attahiru, wife of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Ibrahim Attahiru, was among the victims, along with her husband. We have since discovered that Mrs Fati Attahiru was not aboard the ill-fated plane.

We were misled by a trusted source, who, himself, appeared to be misled. The error is highly regretted.

Thanks greatly, while wishing Mrs. Fati Attahiru longer life in good health

Meanwhile, we join millions of good people of Nigeria in mourning this monumental loss.
