LAGOS lawyer and human activist, Femi Falana (SAN), Thursday, petitioned the Chief Coroner, Lagos State High Court, Ikeja, seeking for immediate inquest into the crash of the chartered Associated Airlines plane conveying the remains of Dr. Agagu and 20 passengers.

CRAsHED: Fuselage of the crashed aircraft Embraer 120RT Brasilia, registration number 5N-BJY.

Falana, however, threatened that if the request was not granted within seven days of receipt of his petition, he would proceed to approach the Lagos High Court for an order of mandamus to compel the chief coroner to discharge his duty under law.

In the petition entitled Request for inquest into the plane crash at Mafoluku, Oshodi, Lagos State, on Thursday, October 3, 2013, he said: “Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the tragic crash, it is either that the plane was flown by incompetent pilots or totally unfit to embark on the 35 minutes flight from Lagos to Akure.”
