Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, an official of the agency on ground at the scene told journalists that so far only one person has been recovered alive from the plane which was said to have 22 passengers on board, heading to Akure, Ondo State, for the burial of former governor of the state, Chief Olusegun Agagu.
