Dr. James Odaudu, the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at NSIB, issued a press release confirming the commencement of the investigation.

The NSIB, as the designated investigating agency, has appealed to the public for assistance. They are actively seeking any video clips, relevant evidence, or information that individuals may possess, which could contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the incident.

While the Bureau is dedicated to a transparent investigation, they emphasize the importance of the public refraining from assuming the cause of the incident until the formal report is released. NSIB has assured that a preliminary report will be released as soon as possible, shedding light on the circumstances surrounding the aviation incident and contributing to enhanced safety measures within the industry.
