A Nigerian passenger, Jude, on Saturday slumped and died while
undergoing boarding procedures at the Murtala Muhammed International
Airport, Lagos.
Spokesperson for the MMIA Police Command, Lagos, DSP Joseph Alabi, confirmed the development to newsmen on Sunday in Lagos.
Alabi said that the 44-year-old passenger was about boarding an Air
France flight when he suddenly slumped after receiving news that his
wife had died.
According to him, the incident happened around 5:30 p.m. and the
deceased was confirmed dead by Dr Ajayi Olamide of the MMIA Medical
Clinic.
Alabi said that the corpse had been deposited at the Air Force Hospital Mortuary.
Meanwhile, Alabi also dismissed claims that a Royal
Air Maroc aircraft, with registration number CN-ROR was burgled while
landing at the MMIA on October 11.
He said that the police had carried out investigation and confirmed
that all necessary security landing procedures were observed.
“There is a standard procedure, which includes an escort vehicle
following an aircraft that is landing, which will make it difficult for
any invader to approach the aircraft.
“The aviation security officials confirmed that they arrived at the
aircraft with its baggage cabin door already opened which might have
been due to other factors,” Alabi said.
