According to Emenana,a member of the family of crash victim, Jones Ifekanwa''My brother was identified at the crash site.He wasn't burnt.He had his identity card with him and some other documents in his pockets,with that they identified him.So this morning, they took us in and they wrapped him up as if he was gift pack,showing just his face,not his ears,not his head.Can you imagine?And we were telling them that this is our brother whom we have identified.He has a mark on his lips and on his forehead,it is just a unique feature of him''.

''Could you believe that another family went inside and identified the same Jones's body.A body that has been identified by them and confirmed by us twice''.For further clarification,the Chief Medical Examiner,Prof John Obafunwa denied both families access to the body until the DNA testing results would be out in the next four weeks.
