Oduah said: "The AIB as you are aware have released their preliminary report; it was a very good report. There was no conviction that it was Dana's fault. NCAA has also done their air worthy check on the airline and they were freed for that and usually, you do not ground in whole term for an accident because as regard some airline, which had an accident not too long ago such as Air France, Kenya and Ethiopian airlines, the same thing happened.
"Not because of the company service, it was an isolated issue, but before that we had to do airworthy check on the company as a whole including the administrative, technical and the preliminary report exonerated them. NCAA report also exonerated them. Remember we set up a panel as well, they also exonerated them.
"Therefore we isolated them because there is still ongoing investigation. It is still under AIB investigation and until that is done, we will not know if it is the engine or the pilot, so we cannot apportion blame now. We are not allowed to. But as an isolated investigation, as they come, as an airline operator, they have been exonerated, that is why we are exonerating them, that's why we are allowing them to fly and it was not their licence by the way that was suspended."
She also said only the AIB was allowed to investigate air crashes in the country. Analysts believe this is an attempt to discredit the investigation the Lagos State Coroner's office is spearheading. An investigation which is said to indict Dana airlines.
