Plane crash: South Korea police raid Jeju Air, Airport

South Korean police on Thursday raided the offices of Jeju Air and the operator of Muan International Airport as part of an investigation into the fatal crash of a Boeing 737-800 plane that killed 179 people.

DAILY POST recalls that the flight was carrying 181 people from Thailand to South Korea on Sunday when it issued a mayday call, belly-landed, and then slammed into a barrier, killing everyone aboard except two flight attendants who were pulled from the burning wreckage.

According to a regional aviation office in the southwestern city and Jeju Air’s office in the capital, Seoul, authorities carried out search and seizure operations at Muan Airport, where Flight 2216 crashed.

South Korean and U.S. investigators, including experts from Boeing, have been combing the crash site since the disaster to determine the cause. Both black boxes have been recovered, and decoding work is ongoing.

“In relation to the plane accident… a search and seizure operation is being conducted from 9 a.m. (0000 GMT) on January 2 at three locations.

“The police plan to swiftly and rigorously determine the cause and responsibility for this accident in accordance with the law and principles,” police said in a statement.

The Special Adviser on Political Affairs to Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, Alhaji Illiyasu Buhari Maijega, has called on the Federal Government to provide more security support to tackle banditry in the state.

He made the appeal while briefing newsmen at his office in Gusau, the state capital.

“A single individual cannot resolve the issue of insecurity in Zamfara State; it is a collective responsibility,” he stated.

He also urged the people of the state to continue praying for peace and stability, stressing that no society can develop without peace.

Maijega commended the Nigerian Army and other security agencies for their efforts in combating insecurity in the state and encouraged them to sustain their efforts for the sake of security.

Abia traditional rulers recieved only N7,000 monthly pay – Ikpeazu’s Ex-Chief of Staff, Agbazuere

The former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Anthony Agbazuere, has made startling revelations about the administration he served, alleging that traditional rulers in the state received just seven thousand Naira as a monthly stipend.

Abia traditional rulers recieved only N7,000 monthly pay – Ikpeazu’s Ex-Chief of Staff, Agbazuere

The former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Anthony Agbazuere, has made startling revelations about the administration he served, alleging that traditional rulers in the state received just seven thousand Naira as a monthly stipend.

Agbazuere, who made this statement during the Ehi La Uguru Day celebration on Tuesday, said that only a few monarchs received twenty-one thousand Naira as a stipend before the advent of the current administration under Governor Alex Otti.

The lawyer, regarded as one of the most influential figures during Ikpeazu’s administration, highlighted that the current administration is building many projects. He also claimed that the advice he provided to the previous administration was not implemented.

“Before Governor Alex Otti came on board, traditional rulers were receiving a stipend of 7,000 Naira, while a few others got 21,000 Naira. But he has increased it to 250,000 Naira monthly. He has shown capacity and deserves our support,” Agbazuere said.

Agbazuere also criticized the former administration of Governor Ikpeazu for abandoning the old Abia Airport project. He praised Governor Otti for partnering with the federal government to build an international airport in the state.

“Somebody said that he wanted to build an airport but then claimed that it was traditional rulers who told him not to proceed with the project.

“An airport project we already approved, and somebody turned around to claim that traditional rulers told him not to continue. I don’t understand,” Agbazuere remarked.

Meanwhile, the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia, Eric Ikwuagwu, has stated that the party would not respond to Agbazuere’s statements, as the former Chief of Staff is now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Responding to a message from a DAILY POST correspondent, Ikwuagwu said: “The man is a loose cannon praying for political revival.”
