The Families of people who died in the Dana flight 992 crash have kicked against a proposal by the Lagos State to give the victims a joint burial.

In a statement one of the victim’s family member said: “The process of exhuming the bodies could be tedious, which is why we rejected it. The government committee and our own committee will meet to sort things out so that we can all have the remains of our members on time”

The families said they rejected the choice of a joint burial because of the hassles it would cause.
