Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, sees the shooting down of a plane by Iran that killed 176 passengers, as God’s judgment.
The crash occurred hours after Iran targeted US forces in Iraq to avenge the killing of its top general, Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike.
Iranian officials had repeatedly denied claims by US, UK and Canadian officials that the Boeing Co. 737-800 jet was shot down by the missiles of its armed forces.
On Saturday, Iran said it unintentionally shot down the Ukrainian airliner that crashed this week killing 63 Canadians and 82 Iranians, among others, calling it an “unforgivable mistake.”
Reacting in a post on his Twitter page, Fani-Kayode 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 judgment,” he posited.
