Mr.
David Chukwunonso Allison, husband of a Nigerian woman who died in the crash of the DANA Air plane that killed 153 people on Sunday in Lagos has filed a lawsuit in the US blaming those who designed and manufactured the plane for the accident.
US lawyer, Gary Robb, filed the lawsuit on Thursday in a Chicago court on behalf of Mr. Chukwunonso as his wife, Joy Chiedozie Allison, was on the ill-fated DANA Air MD-83.

The suit names Chicago-based Boeing Co., which bought the McDonnell-Douglas manufactured plane. It also names Connecticut-based engine-maker Pratt & Whitney. The lawyer said reports of engine failure point the finger of blame at the companies.
Meanwhile, the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, an affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress on Thursday in Abuja described Nigeria as “a dumping ground for deficient aircraft.”
To bring sanity into the nation’s aviation sector, SSANU suggested the merger and acquisition of airlines. The President of the union, Mr. Samson Ugwoke, in a statement, said the policy was the only way the aviation industry could bounce back to reckoning.

We shouldnt be surprised if this man get REAL justice in the US as standard compensation is the only song on the lips of Nigerians.
ReplyDeleteBe as it may be, the manufacturers are not the one's operating an obsolete aircraft that is faulty and has probably passed its life span. This lawsuit needs to be directed at DANA alone because they put those fatefully departed at risk in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThough the law court will never bring back the dead ones,but it will take Nigerians and it's government to another level of better living for the citizens.Ride on bro.in US,God is behind you.
ReplyDeleteVery good approach, wishing you best of luck while conveying my condolence. RIP
ReplyDeleteNice step.
ReplyDeleteLet nigerian government emulate this step..
I think the guy is making a big mistake, lawsuits here in us is very expensive, all the compensations that suppose to be use to take care of the family will now be spend on lawsuit this is a 30 yrs old plane.
