Brother of NAF Sergeant Questions October 5 Crash Details
The brother of a Nigerian Air Force Sergeant, who died in the aircraft crash on October 5 in Ondo State, has accused the Nigerian Air Force of concealing details about the incident. He claims the flight was not a routine mission from Benin to Lagos as reported, but rather a flight from Abuja that had developed a technical fault.
He expressed frustration over the delay in recovering his sister's body and the lack of communication from the Air Force regarding the victims' remains. The bereaved brother, Sunday Aneke, questioned why the aircraft, identified as NAF 931, was allowed to continue to Lagos after allegedly stopping in Benin due to a technical issue.
The Nigerian Air Force confirmed that all 25 people on board, including five crew members and 20 passengers, died in the crash, which occurred near a naval base in Igbokoda after losing contact with air traffic controllers at approximately 9:13 a.m. on October 5.
