President Bola Tinubu has declared three days of national mourning for Nigerian Air Force personnel who died in Monday’s military aircraft crash in Ondo State.
Tinubu also directed that flags be flown at half-mast across the country as a mark of respect for the deceased officers.
This was contained in a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Monday.
The Nigerian Air Force ATR-42 aircraft crashed near a naval base in the Igbokoda area of Ondo State while on a routine mission from Benin, Edo State, to Lagos.
The aircraft had 25 passengers and seven crew members on board.
