1-11 Status in Nigeria

Sadly another 1-11 crashed in Nigeria today with a large loss of life. I understand that the Nigerian Government made a new law in March stating that any airliners older than 22 years old would be grounded. Does this mean that all the 1-11s in the country will be grounded as most of them are at the 22 year old mark already.
This would affect many carriers who operate the type. Does any one have any further info on this?
