A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered Air Nigeria to pay N5 million to Hakeem Ogunniran as damages for cancelling his flight from Nigeria to South Africa.

Justice Okon Abang gave the order while delivering judgment in a suit filed by the plaintiff against the airline over loss of business due to cancellation of flight.

M. Abang awarded the sum as general damages for the inconvenience and emotional trauma suffered by the plaintiff as a result of the defendant’s negligence.

“The defendant ought to have put in place measures to ensure that a passenger does not incur further expenses where there is a flight cancellation.

Good development. I think I will be praying for my next flight to be cancelled. I will sue for trauma and even heart attack caused by the cancellation
But on a serious note, why is it that anything Jimoh Ibrahim touches ends up ruins

Good. They should be made to pay for their irresponsibility and attitude of no remorse

You miss a flight, u pay a fine or forget the cash

They cancel your flight, its business as usual
