It is believed to have been carrying at least 100 people and there may be some survivors, a senior source with Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo's office told CNN's Jeff Koinange. The aircraft was heading to the northern Nigerian state of Sokoto and may have been carrying the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Mohammadu Maccido, the highest ranking official of the Muslim state, the senior source said. According to ADC's Web site, Flight 53 was scheduled to take off from Abuja at 10:35 a.m. local time and land in Sokoto one hour later.
