Finally, Suntai’s Aides Flown Abroad For Treatment

Perhaps following public out cry and pleas by their family, the Commissioner for Information in Taraba state, Mr. Emmanuel Bello, yesterday revealed that three aides who were with the Governor, Danbaba Suntai, in last Thursday’s air crash, have been transferred to Germany for treatment.

The transfer of the three aides to Germany came as the state government declared that there was no power vacuum in the state.

Mr. Bello declared that the deputy governor, Alhaji Sani Abubakar was holding forte for the governor while he recuperates.

The three aides involved in the air crash are Dasat Iliya, the Aide de Camp, ADC; Timo Dangana, Chief Security Officer, CSO, to the governor; and Joel Dan, Chief Detail. They had earlier been transferred to the National Hospital, weekend.


According to Bello: “The three aides are in the National Hospital and are all showing great signs of improvement. In fact, one of them was even walking around and others were talking with family members.

“They are in very, very stable condition. There were only four persons in the plane and there were three aides and they are all doing fine.

“The governor is fine and all the reports we are getting show that he is doing fine. It is only that we were not taking chances and that is why he was moved to Germany. It is the same for all the other aides. They were moved to Germany as well. There is no preferential treatment as some were trying to insinuate.”
