A relation of one of the victims of the June 3 Dana plane crash, Mr.
Ogbonnanta Uwaeme, has said the management of the airline is not sincere
and sensitive to the demands for payment of compensation.
Over 153 passengers, crew and persons on the ground died when a Dana Air
flight from Abuja to Lagos crashed into four buildings in Iju-Ishaga
area of Lagos State.
Uwaeme told newsmen at the Lekan Ogunsola Memorial Mortuary, Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital that Dana officials were trying to
frustrate the payment of the compensation through unnecessary
bureaucratic processes, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Uwaeme, who lost nine family members, expressed bitterness at the entire process of claiming the money.
“I am extremely bitter about the airline because Dana is doing some funny things. They are not being considerate.
“They are not thinking about the trauma they have already caused people.
“Look at the compensation they said they want to pay to relatives, just $30,000 or about N4.8 million?
