An alert was raised with the National Emergency Management Agency to start a search and rescue operation. The aircraft was first reported found on Sunday morning by a police helicopter search team near the rural town of Kishi, Oyo state, from Lagos. It was suggested 50 people might have survived, but officials later retracted statements about the plane's location and survivors after a TV crew said it had found the aircraft near the village of Lisa in Ogun state, about from Lagos.
