Nigeria has impounded an aircraft belonging to Flair Aviation, a United Kingdom company, after it was discovered to be conducting commercial flights to the country despite a ban on all flight operations due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

The company, according to Nigeria's Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, had been granted a waiver to carry out humanitarian operations but instead carried out commercial flights.

Sirika vowed that the company would face the full penalty of their actions.

In a tweet he said, "COVID-19. Flair Aviation, a UK company, was given approval for humanitarian operations but regrettably we caught them conducting commercial flights. This is callous!

“The craft is impounded, crew being interrogated. There shall be maximum penalty. Wrong time to try our resolve!"

Let's hope they won't melt once the UK ambassador calls the president... Cos we take our own laws for granted too much.

Same UK passed a judgment seizing our national asset pending payment of fine because of a failed project agreement with a UK company under Jonathan...

Sanction those criminals with heavy fines, what rubbish!

Nonsense and ingredients!

Trade it with PI&D Scam

Dem get luck sey no be wike be president..him for don auction the plane or burn am.

I think I saw that plane in the sky like 2days back

I am not a prophet but I certainly know;

- Brown envelopes will exchange hands.

- The ministry of aviation will tender an apology claiming it was all a big misunderstanding.

do they mean "commercial" flight because they ask the UK citizen to pay for their seats or what? i dont get it!

Mr aviation minister, abeg dey vow with sense jare, e get places wey ur hand never reach. the air will be released with just some few diplomatic phone calls to bubu from London.
