What My Wife Told Me Before Agagu’s Corpse Plane Crash –– Husband Opens Up by Sheenor: 11:18pm On Oct 12, 2013
45years old Mrs. Oluwatoyin Alabi had barely
settled in her new position as the Ondo State
Liaison Officer in Lagos when she died on a
strange official assignment that is still
causing controversy.
Mrs Oluwatoyin was promoted on September
13, 2013. A state assignment that required her
to accompany the corpse of former Ondo State
governor, Olusegun Agagu, to Akure from
Lagos, for a state burial, marked the
beginning of the journey that led to her death.
Her husband, Taiwo Alabi, 50, said her last
journey, which was to see her deliver Agagu’s
corpse to Akure in Ondo State, was shrouded
in mystery till the last minute. Below her the
revelations:
According to Mr Taiwo Alabi: “The State
governor told my wife on October 1, 2013 that
she would be the one to accompany the corpse
from Lagos to Ondo. When she told me that
evening, I asked ‘why you, since you’re not a
commissioner’, but she said that was what she
was told.
“I asked what type of flight they would be
taking, she said nobody had told her yet. On
October 2, she got a call from the
Commissioner for Special Duties that they
should meet at the morgue to dress Agagu’s
body and make arrangements for police escort.
“On October 3, 2013, she left home around
5am and called me some minutes before 8am
that they were at the airport. I asked what
airline they would be flying, she said that up
till that moment, she still had not been told
which airline it would be. But 25 minutes
later, she called to tell me that it was
Associated Airline and that they were waiting
because the weather condition in Ondo was
said to be unfavourable.
“The name of the airline didn’t ring a bell
because I had never heard of the airline before,
so I told her to be careful and find out more.
Then later, she called to inform me that the
weather was fine now and that they were
leaving. She said ‘ take care and good bye’,
but I didn’t know that those would be her last
words to me.”
Alabi told Punch that there was news that his
wife and other passengers were supposed to fly
another plane belonging to another airline
before a last-minute change. “We heard that
they had booked for another airline but
changed to Associated Airline in the last
minute.”
Alabi said he too had left home that morning
for Ibadan in Oyo State, and heard about the
crash on his way.
He said, “Thank God I had one of my brothers
with me because he was the one who took the
steering wheel from me. The news shocked
me. I thought ‘where do I start from?’”
Alabi and Oluwatoyin had been together for
24 years, ten years of courtship and 14 years of
marriage. Their only daughter, who is 11 years
old, is in Junior Secondary School Two.
Alabi said telling their daughter about
Oluwatoyin’s death was one of the toughest
things he had had to do in his life.
He said, “When we managed to tell my
daughter, with the support of some other
people about her mother, she fainted and we
had to revive her. She was very close to her
mother. But surprisingly, she has been strong
since then. She’s the one that is even
encouraging me now.”Meanwhile, Alabi said
no one has contacted him since the death of
his wife. “There has been no single call from
the airline since the crash. Even the Nigerian
Airspace Management Authority or any of the
agencies has also not bothered to call the
family. I think it’s very bad.”
