A military plane carrying Saulos Chilima, the Vice President of the South-East African country Malawi, has gone missing. According to information, there were 9 more people on board the plane. They were reported missing on Monday morning when the plane failed to land. A statement issued by the Malawi government regarding the incident said that the plane has disappeared from our radar.
Trying to contact the plane
Since the plane went missing, aviation officials have been trying their best to contact the plane, but have not been successful yet. They said that all possible efforts are being made to locate the plane and Chilima.
Other events were postponed after the plane disappeared
According to officials, the plane took off at 9 am (local time). Apart from 51-year-old Chilima, there were nine more people on board the plane. Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera has ordered regional and national forces to launch a search and rescue operation to locate the plane. President Chakwera was to fly to the Bahamas but has postponed the program after the Vice President's plane went missing. In the year 2022, Salos Chilima was stripped of all powers. He was arrested in a bribery case. However, just last month, Malawi's ER Court dismissed all charges against him.
