The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) said on Wednesday that it has recovered additional components from its ATR 42-500 aircraft that crashed in Igbokoda, Ondo State, as multi-agency teams sustain search and recovery operations at the accident site.
In a statement posted on its official X handle, the NAF noted that specialist divers from the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) were continuing underwater search and recovery operations in collaboration with its recovery team.
The recovery efforts involve hydrographic surveys, satellite-based search-and-rescue imagery, mud excavation, and pumping out excess water to access areas of interest.
The NAF said the teams were working day and night to locate and retrieve relevant materials for documentation and preservation in support of the ongoing investigation.
