The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) has launched an investigation following a mid-air incident involving a foreign-registered Challenger 604 aircraft operated by Triton Aviation. The aircraft, with registration number T7-SEI, lost a door shortly after departing Abuja for Lagos. According to the NSIB, the aircraft was about three nautical miles from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, and climbing through 3,500 feet when the crew declared a "Mayday" call.
The aircraft returned to Abuja and landed safely three minutes later, with nine people on board including three crew members and six passengers. The missing door has been recovered and secured at the bureau's wreckage hangar. The NSIB began its investigation to establish the circumstances surrounding the occurrence.
