NOS5 October 2026, 20:18 UTCNigeria

Een Nigeriaans militair vliegtuig dat onderweg was van Benin City naar Lagos is neergestort. 25 passagiers en zeven bemanningsleden kwamen daarbij om het leven, meldt persbureau Reuters. Er zijn geen overlevenden, bevestigt president Tinubu. Hij heeft de Nigeriaanse luchtmacht om een grondig onderzoek gevraagd naar de oorzaak van de crash. Volgens de minister van Luchtvaart was het ATR-42-toestel bezig met een routinevlucht toen iets na achten vanochtend het contact met de luchtverkeersleiding werd verbroken. Het wrak werd later aangetroffen in de buurt van de plaats Igbokoda.
