Lagos plane crash: Agagu’s son, five others survive

* Olu Falae's son, Obasanjo’s relations, 15 others killed
*  Agagu’s corpse intact
First son of the late Ondo state governor, Feyi Agagu was among the six survivors of the ill-fated Akure-bound Associated Airline that crashed in Lagos today killing 17 others.
The plane, an Embrace 120 with registration number 5N-BUY was conveying the corpse of the late former governor, Olusegun Agagu, family members and other top government functionaries to Akure before the crash.
The chartered plane was said to have been carriying 20 passengers. It crashed into the premises of Sahara Oil tank-farm, along Concord Way, Ikeja at about 11.15 am.

Olu Falae's first son, Deji Falae, Ondo State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism died in the crash, according to Ondo state government in a statement.

The incident
Although the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed to Daily Trust that 17 people died and six survived, the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) puts its figure at 17 dead and four survived.
But a list pasted on the wall at the waiting room of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH)  at around 1pm today put the survivors' figure at five.
They are Agagu  Feyi,  Akintunde Taiwo, Akintunde Akeem, Akinsanya Femi, an unknown male while two persons were brought-in-dead (BID). They are Chijioke Duru and an unknown male adult, LASUTH said.
Duru was said to have died on the way to the hospital.
The survivors are currently receiving treatment at the emergency ward of the hospital. They had 65 percent degree burns, officials told Daily Trust.
At the scene of the crash, NEMA officials, including fire fighters were able to retrieve the coffin containing the remains of Olusegun Agagu intact despite the fire that gutted the ill-fated flight.
Security men who claimed to have witnessed the incident alleged that a man dressed in white jumped out of the air craft minutes after it crashed.
"The pilot is sound and I believe that he made a very sound judgment by making a U-turn after the aircraft developed fault. He targeted the
airport but it was quite unfortunate that he crashed here," says Charles Ogwezi, a Sahara safety officer who was one of the first to fight the
fire before some rescue teams arrived.
Rescue workers had to axe their way through to reach the trapped victims. They first brought out the MIC casket which contained the remains of Agagu before they went for the victims.
Those who formed the initial rescue team include officials of NEMA, Policemen attached to the Airport command, FAAN and Sahara safety staff.
NEMA said the flight recorder (black box) was recovered and has been handed over to an official of the AIB, Captain A. Iweka.
