A Nigerian Air Force jet with two pilots aboard went missing in Adamawa state on Sept. 12; the jet had been involved in fighting Boko Haram. That same day, hours after battling the Army in Konduga, about 50 Boko Haram militants stormed the village of Ngom, 12 miles outside of Maiduguri, and killed a number of residents before being repelled by vigilantes and soldiers. A pastor of a megachurch whose multistory guesthouse collapsed in Lagos on Sept. 12, killing 19 people and injuring over 100, said a small plane had circled over the building for about 30 minutes just before it suddenly collapsed and then the plane had disappeared.
