  "account": "On Monday, a Nigerian military aircraft carrying 25 passengers and seven crew members crashed in the southwestern Ondo state, according to Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo. The aircraft, designated NGR 931, was en route from Benin to Lagos when communication was lost with air traffic controllers around 0913 GMT. Keyamo confirmed that the military aircraft had crashed near the naval base in Igbokoda, Ondo State, and stated that wreckage had been found. Search and rescue operations are currently underway, with Keyamo pledging the Ministry of Aviation's cooperation and support. It is important to note that controlling and regulating military aircraft is not within the Ministry of Aviation's jurisdiction, but rather the responsibility of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. Additional details will be provided as they become available.",
