An aircraft with four people on board has crashed in Nigeria’s commercial hub, Lagos.

The Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said that all the four occupants – two crew members and two passengers – were rescued from the wreckage on Tuesday.

The aircraft belongs to Airfirst Hospitality and Tours Limited, a company that provides private charter flight services and ground handling.

The cause of the accident has not yet been established, authorities said.

A fixed-wing airplane is any aircraft with wings permanently attached to the plane's body and that requires a landing strip.
