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 Akinsanya 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.
