* Dana Air crash in June killed 163, including 10 on ground
* Relatives furious at its return ahead of investigation
(Reuters) - Nigeria has not concluded its investigation into what caused a plane crash in June that killed 163 people, the accident bureau said on Sunday, despite the government lifting a ban on the airline this week.
The Dana Air flight, a McDonnell Douglas MD-83, smashed into an apartment block in a populated Lagos suburb in June, killing everyone on board and 10 people on the ground, according to a preliminary government report.
The aviation ministry on Wednesday lifted a suspension of the operating license of the privately owned Nigerian airline, saying it was satisfied with its air-worthiness following an audit.
"I can not be specific on the time that the final report would be ready," Commissioner of the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) Muktar Usman told Reuters.
