Loyds TSB Bank London to Pay Adequate Compensation on Dana Air Crash Victim


Llyods of London, the group insurer of Dana Airlines, said that it would pay adequate compensations to the families of the victims of last Sunday’s air crash at Iju-Ishaga, a Lagos suburb.

The compensations would be paid to the victims families, according to aviation standards, adding that people should not be afraid that the accident occurred in Nigeria.


“The international law and standards stipulate that the sum of 30,000 dollars (N4.6 million) must be paid to each of the victims’ family within the first 30 days of the accident, as initial payment.
“A sealing of 100,000 dollars (N15 million) should be paid to the victims family after they must have completed all the requirements expected of them by the law,’’


The compensation would be for the passenger families and those on the ground.

The insurer had commissioned a Nigerian surveyor to go to the site and evaluate the values of the buildings and properties damaged.
“The surveyor is to make a comprehensive report to the insurer through the airline for them to work out the compensations to be paid to them.

Mr Yomi Oshinkoya, lloyds correspondent, however urged family members of the victims to come up with evidence to proof their claims that link them with the deceased.
