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.”
