Iran has extended condolences to the people and government of Nigeria over a deadly airplane crash, which left over a dozen people dead.


In a statement released on Friday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham also offered Iran’s sympathy with the families of the victims.

The small passenger aircraft, operated by Nigeria’s Associated Airlines, was carrying 20 people on Thursday, when it crashed shortly after take-off. Sixteen people were killed as a result of the crash.

The plane was reportedly carrying the dead body of a former regional governor, and several members of his family to Akure, a town east of Lagos.

At least 159 people were killed in June when a flight from a local Nigerian company went down in Lagos.

REST IN PEACE TO THE DEAD. It's a good thing that foreign country's share interest to sympathize.

Pls keep your condolence Iran... Its like a hand shake getting to the elbow

When boko haram are killing thousands of people,iran did not send any condolence,Iran sud rather stop sending weapons to BOKO HARAM, i bet you,africa(mali,sudan and somalia) can only get peace if iran stop sending weapons to jihadist,the iranian govt are the financers of all most all the lslamist terror group world wide. I just look4ward to the time when America and the WEST will terminate and completely destroy Iran's nuclear program before nuclear bomb gets to jihadist,until then to your TENT OH ISRAEL, HUMBLE the iranians and the whole mideast

Iran too? It's weird. Anyway let me just pocket my mouth and watch

Na wa oo! So Wen u express ur condolence to victims of a disaster u will be rewarded with suspicion! Just because u are a muslim!!!

PLS IRAN MIND YOUR NUC PROBLEM, WE DONT WANT UR CONDO IN NIG, ABEG ABEG STAY AWAY FROM US, SEE ME SEE IRAN, GOD WE BEG IRAN TO MIND THERE BUZ,

Choi, are they done condoling syria?

Look at the fools. 20 people died in that crash. Did you give Nigeria your condolences when over 40 innocent children died in school while they slept in an act of cowardice? What about when over 70 died at a park in the north? You won't. Because you know what's up. Tomorrow your freaking moderate wing of terrors will tell us it's all in-Islamic.

Every problem has a solution and God will one day show us the solution of you that has been starring us in the face though unseen.

IRAN if you want to sympathize,send us nuclear missiles as tributes.

Idi Amin: Hmmm, I'm beginning to suspect terrorist attack as regards to that plane crash. How can the devil express condolence message to its victims. I guess the next condolence will be from Boko haram
