A brand-new Boeing aircraft of Ethiopian Airlines is the second one to crash in less than six months minutes.

It would be recalled that a Lion Air flight went down over the Java Sea in late October, killing all 189 people on board.

The Boeing crash was on its way to Nairobi, Kenya with 149 passengers and eight crew members on-board before the unfortunate incidence.

Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over the crash.

“I am profoundly saddened by the news of the crash involving Ethiopian Airlines, one of the world’s most successful and efficient Airlines.

“On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, I extend sincere condolences to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia, and to all the countries that lost citizens,” the President said.
