Associated Airline plane reportedly carrying Agagu's corpse crashes

Dr Olusegun Agagu passed away on Friday, 13th September, 2013.
Reports on Twitter suggest the small passenger plane which crash-landed at Lagos airport was carrying the body of one of Nigeria's most prominent governors.

The Associated Airlines plane was flying from Nigeria's commercial capital to Akure, a southwestern town about 140 miles (225 km) away, with seven crew and 20 passengers.

The body of Dr Olusegun Agagu, former Governor of Ondo state, was reportedly being conveyed in the plane by several members of his family when it crashed at Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The politician died suddenly at his home in Lagos on 13 September. He was due to be laid to rest on 4 October at St Paul's Anglican Church in the district of Iju-Odo.
