LAGOS PLANE CRASH: Agagu’s Son, Feyi Agagu Flown Abroad As His Condition Gets Critical

Despite the claims by aero medical
experts last Friday that Feyi Agagu, a
survivor of the October 3, Lagos plane
crash and son of the late governor of
Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, was
responding well to treatment, new
reports say he was yesterday flown
abroad for better medical attention.Besides Feyi, another survivor of the air
crash, simply identified as Akin, has
also been transferred abroad for
medical attention.
The two survivors, who were expected
to have departed the country Tuesday
night, could not make the trip because
medical experts could not until
yesterday clear Feyi for the almost five
hours trip from Lagos.
Again, doctors attending to them could
not get clearance from British Airways
for the trip on time.
It was learnt that they were initially
billed to fly through an air ambulance
but the option was dropped for a
scheduled passenger flight because of
the horrible experience the family had
the last time.
The two survivors departed the country
aboard a British Airway flight yesterday
with about five or six medical experts.
The Director of Aero Medical Standard
at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA), Dr. (Mrs.) Teresa Bassey, in
response to journalists' enquiries on the
state of health of Feyi and other
survivors of the crash, had told the
media on Friday that "Feyi Agagu was
responding very well to treatment and
was doing well and talking with friends
and relations."
