The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority of Nigeria confirmed the incident.

IRS Airlines is owned by Alhaji Ishiaku Rabiu.

The airline has not been flying because it has only one functional aircraft. It had wanted to fix the second plane to commence operatiom and the second plane that was fixed was what crashed today

Thank God he survived this. Just three days ago, an excited Jamil had shared photos of the IRS Airplane, saying he had an amazing test flight in it, and couldn't wait to fly it back to Nigeria from Bratislava, capital of Slovakia. It's a 7 hours flight to Nigeria.
