The Presidency confirmed that a “foreign object” hit his plane during a stopover at JFK Airport in New York.
Some parts of the aircraft, including the windscreen of the cockpit, were damaged in the incident.
In a statement issued in Maiduguri, the capital Borno state, on Sunday, Lawan asked the Nigerian Government to purchase a new jet for Shettima.
He said: “I want to sympathize with the Nigerian Government, especially the office of the Vice President, his crew and staff over the unfortunate incident at JFK Airport in New York, U.S.A.
“I also express my gratitude to Allah (God) for saving the precious life of our dear Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima and those on board the ill- fated VP’s plane, even as I urge the Nigerian government to demand a thorough and timely investigation from the United States government over the incident that affected Vice President Kashim Shettima’s plane at one of the most secure spots in the World.
“The life of the Vice President, and that of his crew/officials stand at risk while using the old and faulty presidential aircraft.
“Therefore, there is the urgent need to acquire a new aircraft to Senator Kashim Shettima so as to avoid these recurrence of air mishaps.”

According to the report, Halevi said the goal of the invasion is to allow the tens of thousands of Israelis who have been displaced by cross-border fire in the north of the country to return to their homes.
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu echoed same when he said that his country “will not rest” until the northern residents can return home.
Israel’s top general in the north, Ori Gordin, warned the military “must be fully prepared for maneuvers.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also said it was calling up two reserve brigades because of the conflict with Hezbollah.
