The sole Nigerian on the ill-fated Air Algerie flight AH5017 has been named.

He is Emmanuel Osi Ogbu Tamr. His nationality has been reported by many media as Nigerien. But the manifest list leaked  by

 Ivorian website Koaci.com  clearly listed him as Nigerian.

In a communique published on Air Algerie website, there were 119 people aboard the plane, including seven crew members. All the crew members were Spanish. There were no survivors at the crash site in northern Mali.

Among the dead were a French family of 10.

Bernard Reynaud and his family were flying back to France after staying with friends in Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou, from where the ill-fated Flight AH5017 took off from before plummeting into the desert sands in Mali.

Bernard was travelling alongside his ex-wife, Michelle, who lived in Lyon, sons Franck and Eric, and wives Laure and Estelle along with their four grandchildren, Nathan, Julie, Alexi and Zoe.

A second family of five were also on the flight which mysteriously vanished off radar screens just after asking permission from air traffic controllers to switch flight paths due to stormy weather .

Bertrand Gineste, a 55-year-old chemist from the town of Gueret was flying with wife Veronique, and their three children, aged between 14 and 19.

They were all members of a development organisation in Burkina Faso.

Fifty one of the 119 people on board were French.

Jean-Jacques Dupre, a friend of Mr Reynaud’s, said: “It’s difficult, very difficult, he was an exceptional friend. We worked together for 20 years, and we’ve been friends for 40 years, we studied together.”

Mr Gineste employed 23 people at his Marche pharmacy in Gueret, and was also treasurer of a group aiding Gueret-Zitenga, a department in Burkina twinned with the French town.
