Senator Smart Adeyemi, PDP, Kogi West, have said that the
Associated Aircraft that carried the corpse of Late Agagu to Ekiti for
burial and killed MIC Boss, Deji Falae and others was on test flight.
The Senator based this claim on his own sources which helped him in
independent investigations. Senator Adeyemi said the plane departed
Lagos for Akure was on test flight and was under repairs before,
therefore it was supposed to carry only engineers for the flight test
and not passengers.
He further noted that the government, especially the Ministry of
Aviation, had tried on facilities at the nation’s airport but that
corruption was the main cause of the problems facing the sector.
Senator Adeyemi insisted that it was pertinent to know the owner of
the crashed airline and those managing it. The airports are good but
have problems of technical regulators which he said was neck-deep in
corruption.
It would be noted that the Senate has summoned the Minister of
Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, Director-General of Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority, NCAA, and the Managing Director of Nigeria Airspace
Management Agency, NAMA, on October 9, 2013, Wednesday.
