An
Associated Airlines plane conveying the corpse of the late former
governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Agagu, crashed on Thursday morning,
killing at least 15 people, just minutes after taking off at the Murtala
Muhammed International in Lagos, southwestern Nigeria, aviation
authorities said.
The
plane was heading for Akure, the Ondo State capital in western Nigeria.
Among the dead are the late former governor’s two children.
