One of the survivors of the October 3 Associated Airline crash that left 15 people dead in Lagos has died. Mr Samson Fatoye was the aircraft's technician and he suffered severe burns from the crash. He died around 7pm on Wednesday at the Gbagada General
Hospital, Lagos, where he had been receiving treatment.
Fatoye died few hours
after immigration officials from Abuja arrived in the hospital with
electronic data capturing machine to prepare passport for the survivors
to travel overseas for further treatment. The remaining four survivors, including the two cabin crew members, were
captured, using the machine and they will be flown overseas for further treatment any time soon. One of the 2 surviving flight attendants, Mrs. Quinneth Owolabi, had her 10 toes and five fingers amputated days ago.
With Mr Fatoye's death, the total number of dead victims of the ill-fated plane which crashed while conveying
the remains of former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Agagu, from Lagos
to Akure is now 16. So sad. May he RIP. I wish government would just hasten up all the help they want to render to these people.
