Nigeria: Military Aircraft Crash - How Naval Personnel and Residents Try to Rescue Victims - Gov Aiyedatiwa

A Nigerian Air Force aircraft crashed in the Igbokoda area of Ilaje Local Government Area in Ondo State, Nigeria, resulting in the loss of all 32 people on board, including seven crew members and 25 passengers. The governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, reported that no survivors have been found after initial efforts by the Nigerian Navy, local emergency management agency, and Amotekun security personnel to rescue victims.

The aircraft nose-dived into a swampy area, with no signs of fire or explosion, prompting the Navy to delay their initial response. The wreckage of the aircraft, including parts of its wings and ID cards, was later recovered.
