There was pandemonium at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) Lagos, yesterday evening when four passengers who arrived the city from Atlanta in the United States of America, collapsed due to excessive heat at the arrival hall of the airport terminal.
According to Leadership Newspaper, the passengers, who had arrived in Nigeria aboard Delta Airline from US, were waiting for baggage reclaim but the 4 who had just arrived from the United States of America where the temperature is much cooler, got overwhelmed by the heat in the arrival area and collapsed.
A source close to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) told LEADERSHIP Weekend that the cooling system at the airport was not working when the incident happened and that it might be due to the current remodelling of the airport.
It was learnt that two of the passengers were rushed to an undisclosed hospital in an ambulance belonging to the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
In his reaction to the development, the general manager, public affairs of FAAN, Yakubu Dati, said the situation was exaggerated by online reports.
Another FAAN official contacted who preferred anonymity said the unhealthy situation at the arrival hall of the airport was not new to most air travellers who had had to contend with it as they passed through immigration and baggage collection.
“For those coming from Europe it is like coming from an extremely cold environment to an extremely hot environment and passengers have to sweat it out as they go through immigration formalities and then through the tortuous collection of their in luggage,” he said.

WELCOME TO NIGERIA

I hate it when public officer lies to protect the government. That airport is a disgrace to this country, and regular travellers would know that the cooling system amidst other facilities hasn't been functional for a while.

This Country is completely shameless and disgraceful. The type of demon holding this country down is greatly powerful

They are Tinubu and Buhari children.

Leadership news papers? Mtcheewww

and no one has their pictures? Habatically.

Look at the way imbeciles have already begun to insult the minister and the country when it's obvious it was the american plane that lost its cooling system.
I'm expecting these political jobbers to also insult america and their secetary of aviation for allowing their planes fly in poor conditions.

It's an act of God

Before you go on your usual merry-go-round childish insults....this is what the newspaper reported...if you have a country news about the cooling system at that point...avail us..otherwise keep quiet !

Stop your falsehood! Every record available on the Delta Airways flight did not reveal any failure of the cooling system, rather as PM News have now confirmed and ably carried by Saharareporters, it is the heat in the baggage reclaim area that caused the arriving passengers to take off half of their clothing!

APC recruited actors.

collynzo2: APC recruited actors.

Like their big area-father Bin Laden and Mutallab, the Islamic APC are now obsessed with airport drama.

Fresh air things.

Whoever believe this propaganda& lies should be taken to yaba left with immediate effect.

Taken to an unknown hospital, no picture,no eye witness, the media should continue to deceive the southwest gullibles.....
