Sad news just reaching us is that the Governor of Taraba State, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai has been involved in an aircrash at the Yola Airport in Adamawa state.
Though the details are still sketchy, it was reported that the governor was in a small plane piloted by him. It was also reported that two other people in the plane sustained severe injuries.
More details coming soon…
UPDATE:
It was reported that the aircraft, a Cessna 208 5N-BMJ with six people on board including crew, operated by the Taraba State Government departed Jalingo, Taraba for Yola yesterday evening and reported contact with the Yola Control Tower (1720Z) and field in sight at 38 miles estimating landing at 1730Z. The pilot subsequently lost contact with Yola Control Tower and subsequent effort to raise the aircraft failed.
Sad

They are now saying he is in a critical condition.
Was he a certified pilot

MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE
God is with you my governor.
Thank God that he survived the plane crashed and responding to treatment, it is good news and I wish him quick recovery in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Eaya. . Sad
May God help us in this country….amin
Hop dey ar serve ? May allah guide them.
Oh my God,,too bad.
May allah guide them.
Would it be mean if I said these politicians are getting what they deserve but that is how I truly feel so I said it.
Sounds like something fishy…I suspect someone messing with his plane.
We are to pray 4 d prosperity of Jerusalem,those who want it will prosper. May God give d Gov. & his colleagues a quick recovery.
May his soul rest in peace. Every man was made 2 die one day.
This is a better way to report news u not sure of, the earlier version was so unprofessional.
Thank God. I wonder if he is a certified pilot or was he taking a crash course when that happened.

Oh!! God pls save them..
Oh!! God pls save them ooo…
May allah save us from untimely death in this country of ours.
May God save us in dis country,GOD pls,prove ur power,bcos Taraba state is peaceful
people actually said God thank you when someones life is hanging??
He has been flow to Germany for proper medical attention Read http://hotnaijanews.com/2012/10/27/taraba-state-governorflown-to-germany-for-treatment/
Gross negligence on his part. The pilot professional requires constant training and re-certification so that he is a qualified pilot means nothing. When was the last time he received training or got re-certified????
Very sad that the other crew members’ lives he jeopardised were not seen as ‘substantial’ enough to warrant flown to Germany to receive better medical care. If the Gov wanted to fly, he should have included his wife and kids in the plane as crew and not poor souls. Terrible shame on Nigeria! I feel pity for the people of Yola/Taraba cos the money that should have been used to provide better hospitals, schools, etc is now been wasted to treat the careless Gov in Germany – real shame!!!
If any of the other crew members die of their injusires – I propose the sue the Gov 9if he survives his own injuries) and label him a murderer.
Hoenstly, teh story leaves a bitter taste – it shows the little value we place on common citizens of the country…I pray God teaches him a great lesson through this and that he learns…necxt time, play Russian Roulette with your family’s lives not others…
they said he was involved in an auto crash……….it wasnt stated dead and some people are already so quick to say RIP, na wa for una ohhhhhhh, they wont read before commenting, jst see headlines and rush to comment, reason why people fail and carry false rumors around…….smh
this is sad, am going to be a part of the state soon
God, pls help the victims. I don’t want them to die.
Mr umar u seen to be a stupid person.
