The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, has dissociated himself from the operation of an aircraft, Bombardier Challenger 600, which recently went missing.
The aircraft, with registration number N808HG, is said to be owned by Eagle Air Company, a company in which Pastor Oritsejafor, reportedly has a stake.
A statement issued by the Personal Assistant to the CAN president, Bayo Adewoye, in Warri on Tuesday, said Pastor Oritsejafor does not operate the aircraft, adding that inquiries on its current state should be directed to the company it had been leased to.
“The Word of Life Bible Church has been made aware of the recent media interest regarding an aircraft (Bombardier Challenger 600, Registration No N808HG) owned by Eagle Air Company in which our Pastor, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, holds a residual interest.
“On behalf of Pastor Oritsejafor, we can confirm that although he holds an interest in Eagle Air, the aircraft in question is not operated by Pastor Oritsejafor.
The aircraft owned by Eagle Air Company, who have confirmed that since August 2, 2014, the aircraft has been leased to and is operated by Green Coast Produce Limited. This is a standard practice in the industry.
“Any and all enquiries in respect of the day-to-day operations of this aircraft should be properly directed to the management of Green Coast Produce Limited. We will be happy to help the authorities with any enquiries,” Adewoye said.
