The family of a former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Ondo State, late Deji Falae, has sued Associated Aviation Nigeria Ltd., urging the court to hold that the airline’s negligence was responsible for Falae’s death on October 3, 2013.
Falae, then a serving commissioner, was among the people who lost their lives when an Associated aircraft conveying the remains of a former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Agagu, from Lagos to Ondo for burial crashed at the Lagos airport.
The aircraft reportedly crashed just outside the aerodrome at about 9.32am, just a minute after it took off.
Falae’s wife, Ese, and three children are, through their suit, urging the court to declare that Associated Aviation Nigeria Ltd, and the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority failed in their obligation of ensuring the safety of the passengers aboard the Flight 361.
They are seeking compensation in the sum $100,000 as general damages, as well as another N219,906,250 “which the deceased would have earned in 15 years as a lawyer, a commissioner and owner of a construction firm had he not died.”
