British economist killed in Nigerian aircrash Fidilia Chime, Mrs Attuh's mother, said: "We are very proud of her. She was professional and gentle and helped everybody that came across her. Nobody would say anything against her because she was always smiling and she was a wonderful mother. Mr and Mrs Chime moved from Nigeria when their daughter was four years old and settled in Merseyside. Mrs Attuh went on to post-graduate studies in accounting and finance before joining Westminster City Council and progressing to a position in senior management. She and her husband, Robert Attuh, had three children, now aged 12, eight and six, and moved to Nigeria two years ago to give them a taste of their family heritage. The cause of the crash has not officially been explained. The crew radioed the control tower at Lagos' Murtala Muhammed International Airport to say that they had engine trouble shortly before the plane went down, five miles from the start of the runway. The aircraft had a history of technical difficulties, one anonymous Dana Air worker told Nigerian television. But the airline's Indian owners have insisted that it was safe and airworthy. Mrs Chime called for an inquiry into the cause of the crash. The Nigerian government yesterday suspended the licence of Dana Air airline as a matter of safety and grounded all of its flights while it investigates the accident.
