Ondo Traditional Ruler Warns of Water Contamination from NAF Crash
A traditional ruler in an Ondo community has issued a public health warning regarding the remains of victims from a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) plane crash contaminating the local drinking water source. The crash occurred in the early hours of October 5, 2026, when NAF 931, an ATR 42 aircraft, went down in the Igbokoda area, resulting in the deaths of all 25 individuals on board, including five crew members.
The traditional ruler stated that the remains had not been fully removed, leading to decaying matter near the community's water source, which poses a serious health risk. His appeal for urgent action from authorities has drawn renewed attention to the situation, which residents feel has not been adequately addressed.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has ordered a full investigation into the incident and opened a condolence register at NAF Headquarters in Abuja.
