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.
