A reception was held at the international wing of the Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, when the aircraft made landing at about 4pm on Tuesday.

Wike is then accompanied by some leaders of the state for an inspection, as he explained how the Aircraft was discovered and retrieved.

Some other leaders believed the retrieval of the aircraft will improve the administration and economy of the state.
