An Associated Airline plane carrying
the remains of late Gov Agagu to
Akure, crashed around Mafoluku area
of Oshodi in Lagos this morning, Oct
3rd 2013.
Eyewitnesses say the crash happened at the local
wing of the Murtala Mohammed airport, close to
the section where JET-A1, plane fuel is stored. The
aircraft is said to have crashed as it took off.
At the scene, fire service officials were seen
evacuating the occupants of the plane and are yet
to determine the extent of casualty.
Indications however suggest that none of the 20
passengers on-board survived the incident,
including family members of the late governor.
Yakubu Datti, the spokesman of the Nigeria aviation
agencies, has asked for more time to get concrete
details of the accident. Unconfirmed reports also
state that ex head of state’s Olusegun Obasanjo’s
son, top PDP dignitaries were those aboard plane.
