His name is Akinsanya, son- in-law of the late former Governor Olusegun Agagu
whose body was being conveyed to Akure, the Ondo State capital from
Lagos for burial, walked out of the remains of the Embraer 120 aircraft.
Akinsanya, along with his brother in-law, Mr. Feyi Agagu, the late
Agagu’s son, were the only family members of the late governor on board
the ill-fated plane.
As it turned out, they were among the seven survivors. As the
aircraft crashed, Akinsanya, a Lagos businessman, was seen walking out
of the wreckage before the aircraft caught fire. He suffered a minor
injury on his head.
As he walked away, apparently conscious, Air Force men who were among
the first set of rescuers at the site, stopped him. They assisted him
to stop the flow of blood on his head. He told them he wanted to go home
to join his family, according to an eyewitness.
But the Air Force personnel told him he was under the Federal
Government’s custody and could not go. They took him to the nearby Air
Force clinic.
The eye witness said: “I saw one man walk out on his legs. I think he is the only one that walked out.”
It was gathered that Aklinsanya broke the news of the crash to the
burial party waiting at the Akure airport to receive the body of the
former governor, which was to lie in-state in the Ondo State capital
yesterday.
He reportedly spoke to Mr. Femi Agagu, the late former governor’s
younger brother, who broke the news to Governor Olusegun Mimiko, who was
leading the burial party. hmmm God indeed is GREAT!
