Police Commissioner Ohagwu Reports NAF Crash Recovery Efforts

Felix Ohagwu, the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, confirmed that recovery efforts for the wreckage and victims of a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) aircraft that crashed in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area, are ongoing. The crash occurred on a Monday, with officials yet to determine the number of casualties.

Ohagwu stated that the swampy terrain complicates recovery operations, requiring responders to use smaller boats to access the crash site. He reported that both human remains and aircraft parts remain unrecovered, with no survivors found during the operation.

An assessment revealed body parts and clothing scattered in the water. Ohagwu indicated that heavier equipment is needed to recover the wreckage and that assistance from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is awaited.

He emphasized that further comments on the crash circumstances would be withheld until investigations by relevant agencies are completed.
