Bellview Flight 210, a scheduled Boeing 737-200 service from Lagos to Abuja, took off at night in instrument conditions and crashed into open terrain at Lisa Village, Ogun State, minutes after departure.

Investigators found technical defects and doubts about the crew, but could not establish a definitive cause because the flight recorders were not recovered.
