Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has reacted after Iran admitted to shooting down the Boeing 737 Max Ukrainian airline.

The airline was first reported to have crashed eight minutes after it took off from the Iman Khomeini Airport in Tehran, the Iranian capital.

However, investigations have revealed that a surface to air missile brought down the plane killing the 176 passengers and crew members on board.

Stepping away from its former stance of having nothing to do with the incident, Iran has now admitted that the airline was shot down by them unintentionally.

Reacting to the development, FFK wrote:

“Finally the beasts have confessed. I ask again, where are the low-lives on @Twitter that insulted me when I said the Iranians shot down the plane moments after it came down? Listen to the voice of the voiceless & learn!

“50 people died in a stampede during your hero’s burial. You shot down a passenger jet “by mistake” killing 170 innocent people & earned the hatred of the civilised world.

“Two earthquakes took place in your nation with loss of life. All in 24 hours! Is this not God’s judgement.”
