Falana demands identity of VIP who closed airspace
Friday, June 22, 2012Omoba
Falana, who was on an Arik Air Flight W3 271, said the plane stayed in the air for an extra 30 minutes after it approached Abuja from Lagos because the airspace was closed.
“Having regards to
the June 3, 2012 Dana plane crash in Lagos, which killed all the 153 passengers
and crew on board, as well as 10 other persons in their homes, I was subjected
to unwarranted mental and psychological torture,” he said. “Most other
passengers on board were equally traumatised as the Arik plane was forced to
hover in the air for 25 minutes.
When
the plane eventually landed, I was reliably informed that there had been a
restriction of movement at the airport for over one hour. In the process, the
fundamental right of hundreds of people to freedom of movement was violated by
the airport authorities at the instance of the said Very Important
Personality.”
In
a letter he sent to the Ministry of Aviation, Falana demanded to know the
identity of the said VIP so as to enable him institute legal action against the
person. “In the light of the foregoing I am compelled to request you to furnish
me with the name of the said Very Important Personality to enable me to sue him
for endangering the lives of over 150 passengers,” the letter read.
This
request, he said, is made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 2011
which has imposed a duty on all public officers to make requested information
available to members of the public.
“Take notice; that
if you fail or refuse to accede to my request within seven days of the receipt
of this letter, I shall not hesitate to apply for an order of mandamus at the
Federal High Court with a view to compelling you to disclose the identity of
the said Very Important Personality forthwith,” he stated.
