Agagu's son-in-law, Mr. Femi Akinsanya survived the plane crash miraculously, infact, he walked out of the remains of the ill-fated plane by himself with minor injuries.
Akinsanya and Mr. Feyi Agagu,were the only family members of the late governor on board the ill-fated plane. Akinsanya, a Lagos businessman, was seen walking out of the wreckage before the aircraft caught fire. He suffered a minor injury on his head.
As he walked away, apparently conscious, Air Force men who were among the first set of rescuers at the site, stopped him. They assisted him to stop the flow of blood on his head. He told them he wanted to go home to join his family, according to an eyewitness.
But the Air Force personnel told him he was under the Federal Government’s custody and could not go.
They took him to the nearby Air Force clinic.
The eye witness said: “I saw one man walk out on his legs. I think he is the only one that walked out.”
It was gathered that Aklinsanya broke the news of the crash to the burial party waiting at the Akure airport to receive the body of the former governor, which was to lie in-state in the Ondo State capital yesterday.
He reportedly spoke to Mr. Femi Agagu, the late former governor’s younger brother, who broke the news to Governor Olusegun Mimiko, who was leading the burial party.
