Eleven dead in Cameroon forest plane crash: state media

YAOUNDÉ, May 12, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - All 11 people on board a plane that crashed 
in a forest in central Cameroon have died, state radio CRTV said Thursday.

"All perished in the disaster" on Wednesday, the presenter said. 

A transport ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP: 
"There were no survivors."

The plane had been chartered by a private company, the Cameroon Oil 
Transportation Company (COTCO), which maintains a hydrocarbon pipeline 
running to neighbouring Chad, official sources told AFP.

The plane, whose type and make were not made public, was flying from Yaounde-
Nsimalen airport to Belabo in the east of the country, the transport ministry 
has said.

It was found in a forest near Nanga Eboko, some 150 km (90 miles) northeast 
of Yaounde, it said.
