Nigeria plane crash: Kerala engineer’s body yet to be found

Lagos: India and other foreign countries have asked Nigeria to quickly release the bodies of their nationals killed in a plane crash here that claimed the lives of 153 people on board and an unknown number on the ground.
Foreign diplomats met with Babatunde Raji Fashola, the governor of Nigeria’s southern state of Lagos, where the accident occurred, demanding the early release of dead bodies of their citizens.
“It was not an official meeting. We went to find out about our citizens who died in the crash,” Rani Malik, the consular head of the High Commission of India in Lagos, who was among the diplomats, told PTI.
She said the body of the 26-year-old Indian engineer from Kerala named Rijo K Eldhose is yet to be found.
Malik had clarified earlier that co-pilot of the plane, Mahendra Singh Rathore is an American of Indian-origin.
