I am informed that a light aircraft crashed today in the vicinity of rand airport with 3 souls on board, one male pilot another male and a female passenger.
Am told the two gentlemen managed to walk away from the flight but the lady perished. The extend of the injury I have not yet established.
Anyone with further information?
My biggest heartfelt condolences.

The male passenger passed away yesterday morning too. Though he seemed to be doing well the previous day. Some organ failure.
God rest their souls in peace
:sad:The two males were Nigerian and a South African lady. Out of which one of the male was the son of a retired aircraft maintenance engineer based in Port Harcourt. The body will be arriving Bethel, in Delta state for interment sometimes this weekend. May their gentle soul rest in Peace. Sometimes in early this year another Nigerian died in a similar scenario while on flight training in South Africa.:E
