Sad news reaching us is that a
commercial airliner operated
by DANA Air has crashed in
the Iju area of Lagos. The
aircraft was arriving from
Abuja on a local flight when it crashed into a powerline in
the area. According to the report by
Sahara Reporters, the plane
had 153 passengers on board. Femi Oke-Osanyinpolu , Lagos state emergency state
manager, said Sunday that
casualty numbers are
unknown. Harold Demuren , head of the Nigerian Civil Aviation
Authority (NCAA), confirmed
the crash. He said the Dana Air
flight was heading from Lagos
to Abuja in Nigeria. He said
federal authorities were on their way to the site of the
crash. This news gives me shivers.
Just minutes after reporting
news of the bomb blast in
Bauchi, now this. The number of casualties has
not been ascertained, but I
pray for the lives of all those
that were on board that plane
and people that were in the
area where it crashed. May God be with us all. UPDATE: The NCAA has
confirmed that there were no
survivors on the plane. Such
sad news.
