However, amidst the tragedy, Faleye Olushola, whose name was in the manifest, managed to survive the tragic incident.
According to ThisDay, Faleye Olushola had initially flown with Dr. Herbert Wigwe, his wife, son, and former Group Chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), Abimbola Ogunbanjo, from London, United Kingdom to Palm Spring, a city in California, US.

Opting for the safer alternative of traveling by road, Olushola escaped the air disaster that claimed the lives of his boss and dive others.
