DANA Air Crash Victims To Get N16million Each


Relatives of victims of the ill-fated DANA aircraft are expected to get $100,000 (about N16m) as insurance claims from the management of DANA Airline, for each of the 153 passengers who died during the unfortunate incident.

Also, DANA is expected to pay $250,000 (N40m) to the families of the two pilots as compensation, while the six crew members will each get $150,000 (N24m).

This is in line with the requirement of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). 

However, the Government agency have begun DNA tests for the 148 DANA crash victims who have been taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) morgue in Ikeja to allow easy identification by their relatives.

So far, about 88 males, 48 females and 12 children have been recovered.
