The Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) will today release the body of a victim of the Dana Air plane crash to the family, The Nation has learnt. The body was identified yesterday after a DNA was conducted on it.

The LASUTH authorities are still collecting DNA samples from families of charred victims to ensure the remaining bodies are identified.

A source said with the cooperation of relatives of the victims, the remains would be handed over to their families for proper burial, “no matter how charred or dismembered the bodies may have been”.

To prevent further trauma to families of the crash  victims due to misinformation,  Commissioner for Special Duties, Dr. Wale Ahmed has been authorised  to speak on release of bodies to families.

A source said the decision was taken at a  meeting attended by the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris,  Ahmed and the Chief Medical Director of the LASUTH,  Prof.Wale Oke.

This was made known yesterday by Idris, after a three- hour meeting at LASUTH.

The President of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), Dr. Wole Adetimehin, yesterday said the total claims payment to families of the victims and others might be as high as 100 million dollars (N15.5 billion).

Adetimehin told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the worth of the plane, the passengers, third party liabilities and consequential losses would need to be quantified.
