There was confusion at Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja, following the death of a passenger at the domestic wing of the airport.

The female passenger simply identified as Mama Tobi was at the boarding area for her flight to Lagos when the incident happened.

She was said to have slumped as a result of high blood pressure.

A lawyer, Felix Ashimole, said the woman died as medical personnel from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) did not respond on time.

“Where is the money they claim was sunk into renovating the airport into world standard? For 13 minutes, no FAAN medical personnel. She died in my hands and few others. A medical doctor on his way to Kano tried but as he finally said, “we lost her.”

“But she would’ve been saved, had FAAN provided basic insulin. She was diabetic. Her sugar went high; She entered coma; No medical attention; She saw the light and moved towards it. We kept calling her, Mama Tobi, Mama Tobi, don’t leave us, wake up, Good morning but saliva trickled down, foams bubbled and I knew she had seen a better place and wouldn’t be coming back!

“FAAN and the entire airline staff on ground were stupidly acting as if è no concern them. They kept announcing boarding and NEVER USED their speaker to ask if there is any medical personnel on ground. Finally they brought an ambulance from their fire fighting department, to take her corpse away! ood night Mummy Tobi. Your country and countrymen, failed you,” the lawyer wrote in a social media post.

It was learnt that the corpse of the deceased was taken to the NAF Medical Centre at the airport.

When contacted last night, spokesperson of FAAN, Mrs. Faithful Hope-Ivbaze, said it was not true that FAAN did not respond on time, saying, “Our doctors were there. We are not happy it happened. We regret it happened but God knows the best in every situation.”

She, however, expressed the condolence of FAAN to the family of the deceased and prayed God to grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.

New day, new tragedy. God help us all

The rate at which people die from high blood pressure increased with this present administration.

When the presidential hospital in Aso Rock doesn't have common paracetamol, it'd be foolish to be expecting top-notch medical help anywhere else in the country.

The only thing all the agencies have learnt to do is teach their spokespersons how to debunk reports. You will see a PRO, who was probably relaxing in his house when an incident occurred, coming to debunk eyewitness reports like he/she was there when the entire thing happened. Failed nation.

Ok

Hmmm

Fear woman like death

Oh why now.. R.I.P

Even Buhari doesn't trust Nigerias health care system.

Alot of people with health issues roaming around na why e no good to dey run slap person wen dem vex u or charge at u...

Tilumbum self, Chicago pee poo GCFR drug baron. Buhari has always been a badluck to this country, unexpected things are just happening, unfortunate things ever since he emerged.

Good night mama Tobi

RIP

You why it is not good to engage in physical fight with strangers. You don't always know their medical history.

Quite Unfortunate.

Buhari will handle insecurity and Osinbanjo will handle economy na him we dey so.

God please protect us all.

Seriously, another national embarrassment, it's painful and should be investigated

Things like this makes me support the japa geng

Eeyah

Sad world

Skull miners
Case close

A region where ritualists breed and spread like virus

What's happening.

There's no gainsaying she died because Nigeria is a failed state.

In the most secured country in the world USA people still die ridiculous deaths so the earlier we realize that we are all characters in God's script the better.

In every storyline someone are heroes (Jesus) valian (Satan) the rest of us supporting characters however you die is determined by the playwright.

Hers has ended I can only wish mine be a peaceful transition.

RIP Mama

Very unfortunate. RIP to the departed.
