Nigerians demand explanation over take off of aircraft from Abuja airport amidst flight ban

There are questions being asked about who Nigeria is bending its rules and the ban on international flights for, as arrangements are being made to fly someone, an unnamed expatriate, out on Friday morning.

Confiance News gathered from The Elites on Friday.

Recall that the Federal  Government of Nigeria (FGN) placed a ban on international flights a couple of days back. Flights are not allowed out or in except on emergency cases.

“We sighted a letter granting permission signed by the Director, Air Transport Management in the Ministry of Aviation granting a CHALLENGER 604 with Registration number N880ET to take off from ABUJA Airport this morning.

“Though the title of  the letter itself is suspicious as it indicates that the request was for the evacuation of an expatriate and the destination is London,” the source noted.
