11 Killed In Tragic Plane Crash In Cameroon

At least eleven people reportedly died in a tragic plane crash in Cameroon on Wednesday.

The plane was said to have veered off signal a few moments after it took off.

Cameroon’s Transport Minister, Ernest Ngalle Bibehe, has confirmed the incident, noting that the plane crashed near Nanga Eboko, Centre Province yesterday.

He said in a statement that air traffic control lost contact with the plane which was later located in the forest near Nanga Eboko, around 150 kilometres (90 miles) northeast of the capital Yaounde.

According to Cameroon24, the tragic incident occurred at around 2 pm on Wednesday leaving no survivors.

Names of those onboard were confirmed as, “Dicka Endalle Estelle, Kesseng Jean Charles, Pewite Nkwenti Serge, Tchehou Tchakounte Serge, Asu Rudolf, Baban Andre, Kouayep Armand, Ndanjo Gadinga Celetsine Tchatua Ernest.”

Meanwhile, another tragic event happened in Lagos State on Wednesday, which resulted in the death of a masquerade and two other people.

The citizens were crushed down by a truck in the Mushin area of the Lagos state.

Naija News reports that security operatives from Area D Command in Lagos prevented an outbreak of violence following the incident that happened at approximately 2:30 pm on Wednesday, May 11, along the Isolo road, according to The Guild.

The incident led enraged traditionalists to attempt lynching the driver to show their displeasure with the situation.

The police fired tear gas canisters to disperse the mob, who requested that the driver should be handed over to them when it became disorderly and chaotic, leading demonstrators and other road users to flee to safety.
