Pastor Daniel Omowumi, owner of the two-storey building that
the Dana air plane crashed into at the Iju-Shaga area of Lagos State and other
ground victims have been paid USD 30,000 each as compensation.
Earlier, Pastor Omowunmi in conjunction with the Committee
for the Defence of Human Right, CDHR, Funmilayo Unit, had staged a protest 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.
Confirming the payment of compensation to the ground
victims, Head Corporate Communication, Dana Airlines, Mr. Tony Usidamen
said Dana Air insurers were committed
towards ensuring that all claimants were fully compensated to the extent of
their losses.
Mr. Usidamen however pointed out that although the payment
of compensation to the ground victims took some time, it was done in line with
laid down processes by law and the settlement agreed 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 on-going.”
