A military aircraft carrying 32 people crashes in southern Nigeria, and rescue teams search the crash site as the fate of those onboard remains unclear. Reports say the aircraft went down in the Igbokoda area of Ondo state, following an incident that triggers an ongoing search and rescue operation.
Multiple outlets identify the onboard numbers as 25 passengers and seven crew members, citing authorities. NDTV and Al Jazeera report that the crash occurs while the aircraft is on a routine mission connected to Lagos, Nigeria’s economic hub, with information attributed to Nigeria’s Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo. Other coverage focuses more on the rescue response and the uncertainty about survivors or causes, reflecting the early stage of reporting.
While details of the exact aircraft type and circumstances are not confirmed across all sources, outlets consistently describe coordinated emergency efforts in Ondo state and state officials discussing the crash and the mission context.
