BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

AFP-centric framing: the two Nigerian sources relay almost exclusively the AFP wire story without adding a distinctly Nigerian editorial angle.

Preference for bare facts: Nigerian media adheres strictly to factual data without geopolitical context or analysis of implications for global aviation safety.

Limited local angle: no parallel is drawn with Nigerian aviation regulations or urban infrastructure safety in Africa.
