Dana crash victims yet to get full compensation

Dana Air Crash Site
DANA Air, Monday, said the process for compensating relatives of victims of its aircraft that crashed a year ago at Iju-Shaga, Lagos, was being delayed by problem  of securing grant of probate, otherwise known as letter of administration, by families of the victims.

It plans to commemorate the first anniversary of the air disaster that killed over 160 persons.

According to the air, 65 relatives of some of the victims had gone to court abroad  challenging the mode of the compensation, lamenting that the move had truncated the process of compensation, pending the verdict of the court.

Speaking during an interactive session with newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, Head of Corporate Communication, Dana Air, Tony Usidamen, said the airline was facing difficulties in paying  full compensation to the families of the victims of the ill-fated crash of June 3, 2012, due to incomplete documentation on the part of the relatives.
