Senator Smart Adeyemi Speaks On Associated Airline Crash! Crashed Plane Was On Test Flight

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, based on what people told him during his
investigations.
The plane departed Lagos for Akure on test
flight and was under repairs before then and was supposed
to carry only engineers for the flight test and not
passengers.


He said 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. He 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.
Meanwhile the senate yesterday have 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.
