Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, To Appear Before Senate Wednesday

The troubles of the embattled Minister of Aviation, Ms Stella Oduah, aren’t over yet as indications emerged on Monday that she might also appear before the Senate plenary on Wednesday to explain her roles in the October 3, 2013 Associated Airlines plane crash in Lagos.

She will also take questions from Senators on the controversial N255m bulletproof car scandal involving her and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority. It was further learnt that the session might be a live telecast by one or two television stations.

You’ll recall that the 23-year-old Associated Airlines plane carrying the remains of a former Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, had crashed barely a minute after it took off from the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos. No fewer than 15 people, including Ondo State Commissisoner for Culture and Tourism, Deji Falae, died in the accident.
