A four-seater plane flying from Nigeria to Gabon through Cameroon has disappeared, according to Cameroon aviation sources today.

The plane owned by the United States company Global Aviation, took off from Kano in Northern Nigeria at 1800 hours on Monday en route Libreville in Gabon where it was scheduled to arrive at 2300 hours, after a stopover in Doulala, Cameroon.
However, the station said that the plane, with only the American pilot on board, did not make it to Douala.
It said the last contact the plane had with the control tower took place in Mongo, which is two hours flight from the Cameroonian economic capital.
