In a statement shared on their X account, Olufemi Soneye, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, expressed deep sympathy for the families affected by this incident.
He assured the public that the search for any remaining passengers continues, with NNPC actively collaborating with rescue teams and relevant authorities.
