Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has declared three days of national mourning after a military aircraft crashed in southern Ondo State, killing 32 people.
Authorities say the plane was on a routine mission from Benin City to Lagos when it came down near a naval base on Monday morning.
A resident told the BBC that the plane had crashed near a swamp and that clothes and shoes had been found at the site. Smoke could be seen rising from the area.
