Few weeks ago, news report about the huge amount of money the Presidential jet of Nigeria gulps as it lays idle in London was all over social media. Many queried the decision by the Presidency to just keep the Aircraft in London thereby paying huge sums for parking lot when it could have been moved back to Nigeria pending when President Buhari will be ready to return to the country.

However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu said,

“The Presidency is constrained to decry criticisms, mostly on social media, on the retention in London of the Presidential Aircraft, NAF 001 as mostly informed by lack of understanding of protocol around foreign trips by Heads of State all over the world.

Well, a twitter user has posted screenshots of what looks like Nigeria’s Presidential Jet spotted at the Airport where Arsenal FC players were about boarding a flight to Sydney Australia on a pre-season tour. See pictures and his tweet below.
