PHOTOS: NSIB, Navy divers continue underwater search for crashed NAF aircraft

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) and the Nigerian Navy are continuing round-the-clock underwater search and recovery operations at the site of the October 5 crash of a Nigerian Air Force ATR 42-500 aircraft in Igbokoda, Ondo State. The operation, which involves specialist divers and various methods such as hydrographic surveys, satellite SAR imagery, mud excavation, and continuous water pumping, aims to recover additional aircraft components and relevant materials to support the ongoing investigation.

The difficult terrain, mud, and water have complicated access to the site, but the multi-agency teams are making progress in retrieving materials from the submerged wreckage.
