Akinsanya, along with his brother in-law, Mr. Feyi Agagu, the late Agagu’s son, were the only family members of the late governor on board the ill-fated plane.
As it turned out, they were among the survivors. As the aircraft crashed, Akinsanya Femi, 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 bleeding from his head, he then told them he wanted to go home to join his family, according to an eyewitness.
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 Akinsanya 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, then broke the news to Governor Olusegun Mimiko.
