Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has said that no survivor has been found following the crash of a Nigerian Air Force aircraft in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area of the state. He recently had his say during an interview on Channels Television, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Disclosing that local residents, security personnel and emergency responders have searched the crash site but are yet to find anyone alive, Aiyedatiwa revealed that the chairman of the local government broke the sad news about the crash to him around 10.30am.
He added that officials of the local emergency management agency, local residents and personnel of the Amotekun Corps have since joined the search for possible survivors.
His words, “When they noticed that it’s just an accident, they didn’t see any sign of fire. So they moved in, trying to see if they could rescue the people.
But from the information we got, no single life was saved up to this moment. They could not see any living soul that was in that aircraft.
But they saw the ruins, some of the wreckage from the wings of the aircraft, you know, some ID cards, I was told, and then uniform. That was when they knew it was a military aircraft.
So it’s a sad situation today. And we’re all really, really agreed as a Nigerian. And also it happens in my own state, not just my state, even in my own local government where I’m from.
It happens to Nigerian military officers who are assigned to protect the territorial integrity of our country and, you know, involving such, you know, accidents. So, so painful. So painful, but so sad.”
