Daniel Omowumi, a pastor and owner of the two-storey building where the
Dana air plane crashed into at the Iju-Shaga area of Lagos State and
other ground victims have been paid $30,000 each as compensation.
A few weeks ago, Omowunmi in conjunction with the Committee for the
Defence of Human Right (CDHR) had protested with other victims of the
accident blocking the entrance to the Dana Air head office at Allen
Avenue, demanding the sum of N500 million for his property that were
destroyed by the crash.
Head Corporate Communication, Dana Airlines, Mr. Tony Usidamen, who
confirmed the payment of compensation to the ground victims, said Dana
Air insurers were committed towards ensuring that all claimants were
fully compensated to the extent of their losses.
Usidamen, however, pointed out that although the payment of
compensation to the ground victims took some time, it was done according
to the laid down processes by law and the settlement reached by all
parties concerned.
According to him, “We can confirm that payment of compensation to
affected Iju-Shaga residents has commenced and the process is still
ongoing.”
