The Executive Secretary of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas, has expressed his condolences to the Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, the Government and people of Nigeria over Sunday’s plane crash in Abuja in which some 100 persons, including eminent personalities, lost their lives.
An ECOWAS statement to the Ghana NEWS Agency said the plane, operated by the Aviation Development Company (ADC) Airlines, was on a scheduled domestic flight to Sokoto in northern Nigeria when it crashed soon after take-off, killing almost everyone on board.
Among the dead are the Sultan of Sokoto and leader of the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria, Alhaji Muhammadu Abubakar Maccido, his son, who was a senator and a grandson.
Dr. Ibn Chambas also expressed his heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved families, and prayed God to grant them the strength to bear the sad and irreparable loss.
