Unless the Federal Government urgently
intervenes to fly Mrs Quinneth Owolabi
abroad for treatment, she would have her
toes and fingers amputated due to
gangrene infection.
Mrs Owolabi is a surviving cabin crew on the ill-
fated Associated Airlines plane that crashed in
Lagos two weeks ago.
But for her husband's resistance, the
amputation would have been done yesterday or
today at Nigerian Air Force, NAF, base hospital
in Ikeja, where she had been hospitalised since
the crash.
Mrs. Owolabi survived the crash alongside
six others, although two of the survivors
later died at the Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.
The husband of the victim was making frantic
efforts to reach the Federal Government for his
wife to be flown abroad for treatment to stave
off the amputation, especially as the government
was said to be responsible for her treatment
thus far.
National President of Nigerian Airlines Cabin
Crew Association, NACCA, Mr. Charles Onuoha,
who confirmed the development, appealed to the
Federal Government to urgently come to the
rescue of the crash victim.
According to him, Owolabi's 10 toes and the five
fingers of the left hand have been marked for
amputation because of the infection that had
set in.
He said: "We are calling for referral for
overseas treatment, a post-trauma stress
assessment and de-briefing for Mrs Quinneth
Owolabi, and her colleague, Miss Toyin Samson,
currently on admission at Lagos State University
Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Lagos.
"We are appealing for government's
intervention because that is the only thing
that can stop this amputation."
Onuoha also called on the Federal Government to
beam its searchlight on the regulation of the
aviation sector to stop the frequent crashes and
deaths of cabin crew that had trailed the
industry in the last 10 years.
Onuoha said though Toyin Samson's case had
been stabilised at LASUTH, she needed
further medical attention overseas.
He noted that post-trauma stress assessment
and de-briefing were a necessity for crash and
hijack victims, and lamented the attitude of the
management of Associated Airlines to the plight
of the two cabin crew since the crash.

They should try and do something about this, because when Feyi and his Inlaw's case were out of hand, they were flown Abroad.

If the FG can't do something on that, Agagu's family should be able to help
