Too Sad!! 13 Killed In Indonesia Military Plane Crash (Read)

Thirteen people have died after an Indonesian military transport plane crashed in the east of the country on Sunday, officials said, marking yet another air accident for the armed forces.
The Hercules C-130 plane took off from Timika city in Papua province carrying 12 crew and one passenger, but came down in a remote mountainous region shortly before its scheduled landing, officials said.
“The operator on land saw the plane at 06:08 am local time but at 06:09 am the plane had lost contact,” air force chief Agus Supriatna told AFP.
The plane was expected to land at 06:13 am local time.
Aboard the aircraft were three pilots, eight technicians, a navigator and a military officer, as well as food and cement, Supriatna said.
Weather around the area is known to be unpredictable, and the plane went in and out of clouds before the crash, he added.
Rescuers located the plane debris soon after. All 13 bodies have been recovered according to the air force. Supriatna said a team was heading to the site to investigate.
The fatal incident is the latest for Indonesia’s accident-prone military.
In November an army helicopter accident killed three on Borneo, while another three died when a military chopper went into a home in Central Java in July.
Some 12 people were killed in March when another military helicopter went down in bad weather on Sulawesi in central Indonesia.
But the worst incident in recent times was in June 2015, when an air force Hercules C-130 plane crashed into a residential neighbourhood in the city of Medan, killing 142 people and causing widespread destruction.

Bayelsa students in Ghana Varsity barred from writing exams, hostels

Simon Utebor, Yenagoa
Bayelsa State students studying at King’s University College, Accra, Ghana, have been prevented from writing their examinations as well as being chased out of the institution’s hostels, The PUNCH has learnt.
The revelation is coming more than three weeks after the Bayelsa State Government said that it had approved the payment of sundry fees for its stranded students studying abroad.
The government had on November 24, 2016, indicated that Governor Seriake Dickson released  £300,000 and $450,000  for the payment of tuition for students of the state on scholarship abroad.
The Commissioner for Education, Mr. Markson Fefegha, was quoted then as saying that the release of the funds, despite the sharp decline in the revenue accruing to the state, was a show of the government’s commitment to the education of its people.
The commissioner had said the release of £250,000 was made to offset tuition and other fees of Bayelsa students studying for their PhD degrees in the United Kingdom.
He had also said the sum of $150,000 was approved for Bayelsa students studying at the Lincoln University in the United States, as well as the payment if $40,000 to some Bayelsa students studying in Ghana.
But The PUNCH leant on Saturday that students of KUC in Ghana were still stranded.
A final year student of Human Resources Management of the institution said their school fees had not been paid.
The student,  who did not want her name mentioned because of fear of victimisation, said because of the development, they (students) were not allowed to participate in the ongoing examinations in the school.
Besides, she said Bayelsa students in Accra had been expelled from hostels by the university authorities more than a month ago.
The distraught student, who confirmed the development to The PUNCH on the telephone, stated, “They have not yet paid our school fees. However, we learnt government representatives are on their way to our school. So, we are hoping that the government team will arrive in our school by Monday or Tuesday this week.
“We are still waiting.  If by Monday or Tuesday,  we do not see them, we will assume they are not coming.
“We have not been going to school since October. Another disturbing trend is that Bayelsa students are scattered since we were chased out of the hostels. For me, I live with a friend. Every other student on scholarship is scattered.”
