Feyi Agagu (Agagu's Son) Flown Abroad As Condition Gets Critical

Despite the claims by aero medical experts last Friday that Feyi Agagu, a survivor of the October 3, Lagos plane crash and son of the late governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, was responding well to treatment, new reports say he was yesterday flown abroad for better medical attention.

Besides Feyi, another survivor of the air crash, simply identified as
Akin, has also been transferred abroad for medical attention.

The two survivors, who were expected to have departed the country Tuesday night, could not make the trip because medical experts could not until yesterday clear Feyi for the almost five hours trip from Lagos.
Again, doctors attending to them could not get clearance from British Airways for the trip on time.

It was learnt that they were initially billed to fly through an air ambulance but the option was dropped for a scheduled passenger flight because of the horrible experience the family had the last time.
The two survivors departed the country aboard a British Airway flight yesterday with about five or six medical experts.

The Director of Aero Medical Standard at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr. (Mrs.) Teresa Bassey, in response to journalists' enquiries on the state of health of Feyi and other survivors of the crash, had told the media on Friday that "Feyi Agagu was responding very well to treatment and was doing well and talking with friends and relations."
