Kogi
State Governor, Yahaya Bello has received with great shock, the news about the
death of Engr Dauda Onoruoiza, whose sad event occurred on January 8, in the
Ukrainian Airline crash.
An
Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, a scheduled international passenger
flight from Tehran to Kiev, was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran
Imam Khomeini International Airport, by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
of Iran, which attributed it to human error.
Onoruoiza,
an Aeronautic Engineer working with the airline hailed from Okehi Local
Government Area of Kogi State was the only Nigerian in that ill-fated Air
Accident.
The
governor described the incident as sad and unfortunate for the State to have
lost such a promising young engineer in such a manner.
“It
is awful and sad to hear that a Nigerian national and a promising young Kogite
in diaspora was among the 176 passengers on board the crashed Ukrainian
airline; a needles and preventable death caused by human error.
''My
deepest and sincere sympathy goes to his immediate family and the good people
of Okehi LGA, Kogi State and the Nigeria at large for this great loss'', he
said.
The
governor called on the appropriate Iranian and Ukrainian authorities and the
world over to carry out thorough investigation on the ill fated crash and
ensure that anyone found wanting in such grievous and needless error, faced the
consequences of their action.
He
prayed God to grant the family he left behind.
