The SA on media to the Aviation Minister, Joe Obi has
released a statement concerning the plane crash the Governor of Taraba was
involved in yesterday. The good news is that he is still alive.
Contrary to reports flying that Taraba State Governor is
dead, the Federal Ministry of Aviation has just issued a statement saying the
Taraba State Governor, Danbaba Suntai, and the other five passengers aboard the
crashed plane are alive.
The statement titled “Incident Involving Aircraft, Cessna
208, 5N-BMJ in Yola, Adamawa State, reads:
“An aircraft, Cessna 208 with 6 souls on board including
crew, operated by the Taraba State Government departed Jalingo, Taraba State
for Yola this evening and reported contact with the Yola Control Tower (1720Z)
and field in sight at 38 miles estimating landing at 1730Z. The pilot
subsequently lost contact with Yola Control Tower and subsequent effort to
raise the aircraft failed.”.
“Search & Rescue team were immediately activated and
site of incident located with all victims alive with various degrees of
injuries. The victims have been evacuated to the hospital for treatment pending
further investigation of the incident.”
“This is the correct version of the incident; every other
one that is contrary to this is incorrect.”
