A Nigerian airline whose airplane crashed in the country's largest
city, killing 153 on board and more on the ground, defended itself
Wednesday against growing public criticism, saying its own chief
engineer died on the doomed flight.
Francis Ogboro, an executive who oversees Dana Air, also told
journalists the Aircraft that crashed Sunday underwent strenuous
checks like the others the carrier owns and that he routinely flies.
The chief engineer "certainly wouldnot have allowed that aircraft to
take off" if there was a problem, Ogboro said. "No airline crew would
go on a suicide mission."
Emergency officials on Wednesday stopped searching for those killed at
the crash site in Iju-Ishaga, theLagos neighborhood about nine
kilometers (five miles) from Lagos'Murtala Muhammed International
Airport. Searchers there recovered 153 complete corpses as well as
fragmented remains before halting their efforts, said Yushau Shuaib, a
spokesman for Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.
It is unclear from the fragments collected how many victims there are,
officials said, acknowledging that a complete death toll could likely
take weeks.
"I think we can only be sure of the number at the end of the
scientific investigation that is going on," Lagos state attorney
general Ade Ipaye said.
Officials now plan to survey the neighborhood to find who remains
missing after the plane smashed into two apartment buildings, a
printing business and a woodshop, Shuaib said. Those still missing
would be presumed dead until DNA testing or other forensic tests links
them to the dead, officials said.
During a news conference Wednesday, authorities said relatives of the
dead should come to Lagos to provide tissue samples and be
photographed. However, such DNA (as of yet the Data base for DNA has
not been located) testing likely would need to be done outside of
Nigeria (if data base is found but; The United States is ruled out due
to on going lrgal case naming Nigeria), a nation with erratic
electricity from a state-run power company and a largely mismanaged
government currently Nigeria.
The cause of the crash on a sunny, clear Sunday afternoon
a radical Islamist sect has claimed responsibility for a suicide car
bombing at a north Nigeria church and Airline sabotage.
In a statement sent to journalists Monday, a spokesman for the sect
known as Boko Haram claimed Sunday's attack in the city of Bauchi, the
capital of Bauchi state.
The statement also again threatened journalists in Nigeria over what
the statement described biased stories about the sect's actions.
Sunday's bombing wounded dozens of people, as the car bomb detonated
as worshippers left an early morning church service.
Boko Haram is waging an increasingly bloody sectarian fight with
Nigeria's weak central government. The sect is blamed for killing more
than 703 people this year alone.
