A passenger plane carrying 117 people crashed after takeoff from Nigeria's biggest city and President Olusegun Obasanjo called on the country's people on Sunday to pray for the passengers and their families. Lagos police Spokesman Bode Ojajuni said search teams located the downed Bellview Airlines jet in Oyo State, at a crash site 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of the city of Lagos, from where the plane departed on Saturday. There was no immediate word on survivors. "Our men have spotted the wreckage of the aircraft," said Ojajuni, without giving further details, according to a report of The Associated Press.
