What happened
While operating in transit, the aircraft experienced a double engine failure that rendered the plane unable to maintain sustained flight. In response to the loss of propulsion, the pilot initiated a descent to lower the altitude.
The crew successfully navigated the aircraft toward a coastal area, performing an emergency landing on a beach situated approximately 112 km southeast of Lagos. While the impact resulted in the aircraft being written off, there were no fatalities or injuries reported among those on board.
Findings
Official investigations into the incident concluded that the primary factor was the simultaneous failure of both engines during the flight phase.
