Passengers Groan As British Airways Diverts Abuja Flight To Lagos Over Terror Al by oshozondii: 10:23am On Oct 28, 2022
A British Airways flight 83 from London Heathrow to Abuja on Thursday suddenly landed in Lagos instead of completing its journey to Abuja over concerns of a terror attack at the country’s capital.

Checks by Peoples Gazette on Flightrader showed the flight changed course upon entering Nigerian airspace on Friday morning.

Some passengers on the aeroplane complained that the flight was diverted to Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos after short notice via email.

A passenger on the aeroplane, Olufemi Ojo, described it as a “horrible experience” after their flight was delayed upon landing at the airport without prior notice.

He said when they landed in Nigeria on Thursday, passengers received a message that the flight would be landing in Lagos before they proceeded to Abuja.

Mr Ojo said passengers waited for over an hour at the Lagos airport, accusing British Airways of being “unapologetic.”

“We had a horrible experience on our journey from London to Abuja. The flight was delayed, we did not leave until 11:45 a.m., and then we got an email saying that we are bringing us to Lagos for 90 minutes wait,” added Mr Ojo. “We landed in Lagos, and then we waited for more than an hour. British Airways, unapologetic, asked everyone to come down.”

A spokesperson for British Airways did not immediately return a request seeking comments about the development.

Mr Ojo said passengers were still at the airport waiting for British Airways to change their crew so they could proceed on their journey.

“We are done now, and we are supposed to go to Abuja and they said they need to change crew and we are still waiting for that. This is quite horrible for British Airways,” the traveller further stated. “We have a better understanding that it is not possible for Air Peace to take British to London and then landing them in Manchester. It’s a horrible experience. We are here at the Muritala Muhammed Airport no air conditioner, as usual Nigeria frustration.”

Meanwhile, the UK government has advised its nationals to stay clear of Abuja due to potential terrorist attacks.

If you Nigerians live in fear, show that anger in 2023 when you go to the polls and also make sure your vote count.

Don't groan and complain when you vote for the same old garbage politicians and expect better result after.

The choice is clear: Be OBIDIENT or whine and GROAN in vain after 2023. The challenge to salvage the sinking ship has never been bigger.

Terrorist that Buhari failed to crush and left unchecked are about to take over the central government.

Meanwhile, the British govt should get updated on the recent happenings in Lagos state.

It's really horrible, disgusting and hurtful. Our government has exceedingly failed us. This led credence to the see finish being experienced from British Airways and co.
However, we pray for better, more secured and prosperous Nigeria.

Idiots, all they know is complain, the airline is trying to keep them safe, and the airline even preinformed them,
But look at dumb people crying like children and quickly playing the racism card.
Thunder fire una, if not for the fact that I value the aircraft I would have asked the pilots to fly you'all to the terrorist territory.

Even when the CAPITAL is insecure, TINUBU'S lagos deem it fit receive passengers from anywhere in the world without fear of terrorists attack. How many of us here can say that our state is as secure as Lagos State? Vote for someone that knows road, a vote for TINUBU is a vote for security (PEACE), prosperity and Unity.
