Nine bodies have been recovered so far from the
charter plane which crashed shortly after takeoff in
Lagos on Thursday, and six survivors confirmed.
The plane was said to have crashed landed shortly
after it suffered an engine failure near an airport
fuel depot and killing at least nine people, officials
said.
The Associated Airlines charter flight took off at
about 9:30 am (0830 GMT) from the domestic
terminal at Lagos’s Murtala Mohammed
International Airport.
“It was going to Akure (in the southwest). The
engine failed on takeoff and it crash-landed and
burst into flames,” said Supo Atobatele, spokesman
for the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
