The Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said official records confirmed that 25 persons were on board, comprising 20 passengers and five active crew members, with two non-active crew members included among the 20 passengers. He said reports citing 32 persons may have arisen from a misunderstanding of standard aviation terminology.
