Actor, Kingsley Chris Bassey, has been arrested for
disrupting a flight, after making a false alert that a
passenger aboard had the Ebola virus.
He placed a hoax call to a recent Arik Air flight
from Enugu to Lagos, that a female passenger who
was travelling on the flight was infected with the
Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
Upon arrival and subsequent testing of the female
passanger, she tested negative, which prompted the
airline to request for Bassey’s arrest.
According to the airline, “about 1.05p.m. on 29
August, a certain man from Enugu, called the
airline’s customer call centre to alert the airline
that his girlfriend who was under quarantine for
the EVD had escaped and was on board flight W3
611 from Enugu to Lagos.”
“Immediately the flight landed at the General
Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Ikeja, Lagos, Arik Air’s
ground staff who had been placed on alert
approached the Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria (FAAN) medical personnel, but the FAAN
officials at GAT said they didn’t have the requisite
equipment to screen passengers for the Ebola virus
symptoms.”
“The aircraft was therefore taxied to the
international wing of the Murtala Muhammed
Airport. There, the Port Heath officials supervised
the disembarking of the passengers and therefore
directed the female passenger to be transferred to
the clinic for checks. “The lady was later discovered
to be free of Ebola symptoms after thorough
examination. She then told Arik Air personnel that
her boyfriend who made the malicious call from
Enugu did that to smear her name because they had a misunderstanding.”
Bassey would be charged to court on Monday, 15 September, for raising a false alarm which
disrupted the operations of the airline.

He should be jailed, and made an example to others who may have intention of using a dire situation like the ebola outbreak, to settle personal scores.

The guy should have a taste of life in jail so that he would teach others like him a good lesson!
