Tale of the Nigerian Air Force fuel bowser stuck in Tallahassee

If you’re driving along Thomasville Road in Tallahassee, Florida, and you might come across a jet fuel bowser parked on the driveway with the words “Nigerian Air Force” stenciled across its blue frame.

The truck is ordered by Justice Chuku, a native of Nigeria and a defense contractor who owns BCGneeds. He had ordered it for the Nigerian Air Force but the company that built the truck, Bosserman Aviation Equipment Inc., filed for bankruptcy. Now it sits on his driveway while they wait for clearance to ship it to African.
