There has has been an Associated Airline plane crash. The 30-seater plane had about 20 passengers aboard and left Lagos airport for Akure this morning.
The plane crashed into tanks of aviation fuel around Salami Street, Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos.
Rumour has it that the airline was conveying the remains of the late former governor of Ondo State, AGAGU to Akure.
The names of the passengers on board are yet unknown...
This is so sad!
