Taraba State Governor, Danbaba
Suntai, who was involved in a Cesna
208 5N-BMJ plane crash Thursday at
the Yola Airport, was on Saturday,
flown to Germany for treatment. The
governor was moved out of the
National Hospital, Abuja, where he
was receiving treatment at about 3:30
pm today.
Vanguard gathered that injured
governor was driven in an ambulance
to the local wing of the Nnamdi
Azikiwe international Airport into a
waiting air ambulance to an
undisclosed Germany hospital for
‘’intensive treatment.’’
The governor escaped death Thursday
evening after a plane he was flying
crashed near the Nigerian National
Patrolmen Corporation, NNPC Depot
in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
The governor, his aide-de-camp and
chief security officer, who were also in
the plane that took off from Jalingo,
the Taraba State capital, and three
others, were seriously injured. The
plane, a Cessna 208, 5N-BMJ, crashed
at about 7.45 pm is owned by the
state government.
The governor, who was brought in
unconscious, was first taken to Yola
Specialist Hospital for treatment, but
was later moved to the better-
equipped Federal Medical Centre,
Yola.
Hospital sources said the governor
sustained an injury on his arm, head
and abdomen. He was rushed into an
ambulance provided by Nyako, to the
German Medical Diagnostic Section of
the Specialist Hospital, Yola. The other
victims, including a white man, were
taken to the FMC Yola.
