Associated Airline crash: LASUTH releases bodies of victims

Following the release of the DNA results of the remains of
victims of the Associated Airline Crash in Lagos,
the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine Lagos
State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja has
begun the release of the bodies to their families.
Vanguard gathered that of the 16 victims, samples from 12
were sent for DNA test in the UK.
Recall that an Embraer aircraft operated by Associated
Airlines with registration number SCD 361, conveying the
corpse of former Governor of Ondo State, Chief
Olusegun Agagu from Lagos to Akure for burial, crashed
shortly after take-off at Murtala Mohammed Airport, on
October 3, killing 13 persons on board.
For bodies of victims that were burnt beyond recognition, the
Lagos state government said it would not release the bodies to
their families until it has conducted autopsies and forensic
tests. The DNA samples taken from the bodies and family
members were then taken to the United Kigndom for forensic
tests and proper identification.
