TravelAir Peace Sold Jamaica Tickets But Dumps Passengers In Barbados - FIJ by miracle4(op): 12:35pm On Dec 30, 2025
On December 21, passengers who bought Air Peace tickets for a Lagos-Kingston, Jamaica, flight were shocked to learn only at the airport that the airline would no longer be flying to Jamaica but to Barbados.

According to the three passengers who spoke with FIJ, the sudden diversion was announced at the check-in point without prior notice, with refunds denied, while those who protested were pressured to board the aircraft or risk losing their money. What followed was a trail of dumping, detention, deportation and significant financial loss.

‘AIR PEACE ASSURED ME KINGSTON WAS THE FINAL DESTINATION’

While speaking with FIJ on Thursday, Joseph Owoyemi (not real name), an Abuja resident and one of the victims, told FIJ he had booked the flight after Air Peace publicly advertised the Lagos–Kingston route on its social media platforms and website.

“I booked a direct Air Peace flight ticket from Lagos to Kingston, Jamaica, scheduled to depart on December 21. Air Peace had publicly advertised and announced on their social media platforms that a direct Lagos–Kingston flight would be available,” Owoyemi told FIJ.

“To verify the authenticity of this information, we took steps to confirm the details with the airline. We contacted Udoka Abalihi, an Air Peace business executive, who confirmed that Kingston would indeed be the final destination.

“Following this confirmation, we decided to book the flight tickets, having initially considered booking to Barbados before being informed by an Air Peace customer service assistant that Kingston would be the final destination.

“After I completed the booking, Air Peace confirmed the flight details. My subsequent inquiries about luggage were also answered professionally.

“We did not receive any further updates regarding changes to the flight schedule. The only email we received was from the customer centre requesting passengers’ data, which we duly provided.”

‘PASSENGERS FORCED TO CHANGE DESTINATION DURING CHECK-IN’

Owoyemi told FIJ that Air Peace compelled passengers to change their destination at check-in. Passengers who resisted the change were threatened.


“When check-in commenced around 1 am on Sunday, December 21, all Jamaican passengers, including myself, were coerced into changing our tickets from Lagos–Kingston to Lagos–Barbados,” he said.

“Despite holding a valid Jamaican visa, I was forced to travel to a country with which I had no prior connection or arrangements. When I attempted to resist this sudden change of destination, I was threatened with a no-refund policy, leaving me with little choice.

“In the end, my original ticket to Kingston was replaced with one to Barbados, and under duress, I boarded the plane, which subsequently took off.”

DETENTION AND DEPORTATION IN BARBADOS

Owoyemi told FIJ that passengers were detained upon arrival in Barbados by the Barbadian immigration officers.

“Upon arrival in Barbados, a country that was not our intended destination, we were subjected to rigorous immigration checks, which resulted in my detention along with several other passengers,” he said.

“We were confined to a detention area without access to basic necessities like water and food, and we were treated with contempt. Even criminals would not have been treated like that. Despite our attempts to explain our situation to the Barbadian immigration officers, our pleas fell on deaf ears.


“After being detained for an extended period, we were eventually deported back to Nigeria on December 23. We left Barbados on December 22, but we arrived in Nigeria on December 23, a situation that was both distressing and avoidable.”

‘NON-REFUNDABLE POLICY CANNOT APPLY HERE’
Owoyemi faulted Air Peace’s reliance on its non-refundable policy, stating that all that happened was due to Air Peace’s poor management.

“Everything that happened was entirely Air Peace’s decision and not my fault. It was due to their poor management,” he said.

“Air Peace advertised this flight for over a month, accepted payments, and then unilaterally altered the destination. The abrupt change in route was in no way my fault, but rather a consequence of their inadequate planning and management.

“I believe they should either provide a full refund or arrange for me to continue my journey to my original destination, Kingston, Jamaica, as initially intended.”


TAKEN ABACK
Owoyemi’s experience, however, was not isolated. Glory Oloitie Adoga, a public servant based in Ibadan, was another passenger on the same flight. She told FIJ that she went through a similar ordeal.

“I booked a flight from Nigeria to Kingston in response to Air Peace’s announcement of a direct Lagos–Kingston service,” she stated.

“On December 21, the scheduled departure date, Air Peace made a surprising declaration at the check-in counter, stating that the final destination had been changed from Kingston, Jamaica, to Barbados. I was taken aback by this announcement. I brought out my flight ticket to verify the details.

“Upon reviewing the ticket, I confirmed that I had indeed booked a flight from Lagos, Nigeria, to Kingston, Jamaica, as originally intended.”

NO ENTRY, NO REFUND
Adoga told FIJ that when she demanded a refund due to the sudden route change, an Air Peace official told her that if she refused to board the plane despite the sudden change of destination, she would not be refunded.

“I approached an Air Peace official and pointed out the discrepancy between the announcement and the information on my ticket. The official informed me that the airline would no longer be flying to Jamaica, but rather to Barbados. I was shocked by that unexpected change,” she said.

“So, I questioned the official, asking why they had sold tickets for the Lagos-Kingston route if they had no intention of flying to Jamaica. I demanded a refund, but the official dismissed my concerns and walked away without providing a response.

“He came back again and presented me with an ultimatum: either I board the plane or forfeit my ticket. He said that it would be in my best interest to change my ticket from Kingston to Barbados, but I firmly refused to do so. When I reiterated my request for a refund, the official dismissed it with a sarcastic remark, saying that I was joking.

“As a first-time traveller, I was uncertain about the course of action to take. Feeling pressured and intimidated, I was coerced into boarding the plane, as the official repeatedly stated that I would not receive a refund under any circumstances.

“They even forced me to enter the plane, saying that Barbados is visa-free for Nigerians, and that I would not have stress booking another flight ticket from there to Jamaica. Since there was no refund, and I didn’t want to lose my money, I had to go with them.”

‘AIR PEACE LEFT US ON OUR OWN IN BARBADOS’

Adoga further told FIJ that after they landed in Barbados, Air Peace left them to their fate without rendering any assistance to them.

“Upon arrival in Barbados, Air Peace failed to provide any assistance to us. After we alighted from the plane, they left us to our fate,” she said.

“The Barbadian immigration officers began questioning me, and I responded truthfully to their inquiries. However, I was suddenly taken into custody and escorted to a detention room, where I was held for over 24 hours without access to food or water. Other passengers were detained, too.

“When a Barbadian immigration officer entered the room, he asked me to provide a factual account of events, which I did. Initially, he was sceptical, but my explanation, corroborated by my flight ticket, eventually convinced him of the airline’s wrongdoing. He then said that Air Peace should have arranged alternative travel arrangements for us, rather than abandoning us in Barbados.”

DIALOGUE BEFORE DEPORTATION
Adoga further told FIJ that while in her detention room, she saw some Air Peace officials engaging in a dialogue with the Barbadian immigration officers — A dialogue that preceded their deportation.

“While still in detention, one of the immigration officers suggested that I book an alternative flight to Jamaica. I searched online and managed to secure a seat on an Inter-Caribbean flight scheduled for December 25, which I promptly paid for,” she said.

“However, on Tuesday, while still in detention, I glanced through the window and spotted Air Peace officials conversing with the immigration officers in their office. I didn’t know the nature of their discussion. Shortly thereafter, we were informed that we would be sent back to Nigeria without any explanation regarding the circumstances of our deportation.

“As a result, the connecting flight I had booked in Barbados was rendered useless, and the accommodation reservation I had paid for, which was supposed to cover my stay until the flight’s departure on December 25, was also wasted.

“I incurred significant financial losses, amounting to millions of Naira due to Air Peace’s reckless and poorly managed operations. In the end, we were repatriated to Nigeria.”

‘THE BARBADIAN IMMIGRATION OFFICERS MISTREATED ME’

Adoga told FIJ that the Barbadian immigration officers mistreated her, and the experience has left her psychologically devastated and emotionally drained.

“The ordeal was profoundly distressing, leaving me emotionally drained and psychologically devastated. I was rendered almost immobile, struggling to even move my feet,” she said.

“The Barbadian immigration officers’ treatment of me was harsh, involving persistent pushing and dragging, until they ultimately forced me into the plane.

“The experience was appalling, terrible, inhumane.

“Even upon our return to Nigeria, we faced further difficulties with the Nigerian immigration officers, who initially attempted to classify us as deportees and asked us to fill in a deportee’s form. However, after we explained the circumstances surrounding our repatriation, they advised us to even seek legal recourse and pursue justice for the mistreatment we had suffered.”

‘IT ALL SEEMED LIKE A RUMOUR’
Chinanza Ebuka (not real name), a Delta resident, was another victim of Air Peace’s sudden route change.

While speaking with FIJ on December 25, she recounted her depressing experience, confirming that Air Peace had announced on their platforms that there would be a direct Lagos–Kingston flight. She said that was what made her book the flight.

“Honestly, Air Peace announced on their platforms on December 11 that there would be a direct Lagos–Kingston flight, and everyone knows this is a fact,” she said.

“Subsequently, I booked the flight from Lagos to Jamaica. However, upon our arrival at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, we were told at check-in, without prior notice, that the flight’s destination had been altered, and we would instead be flown to Barbados. What initially seemed like a rumour ultimately proved to be our unfortunate reality.

Ebuka’s flight ticket
“Initially, while still at the airport, we requested a refund, but Air Peace invoked their ‘no-refund policy’, leaving us with limited options. We had specifically booked the direct flight to avoid the inconvenience of booking connecting flights. So, why did they have to disembark us in Barbados?

“The next thing we saw was that they asked people to start writing their names down, those that agreed to alight at Barbados. Since I didn’t have any other option, I had to comply.

“Air Peace persuaded us into boarding their plane, telling us that Barbados is visa-free for Nigerians, and that when we arrived in Barbados, we would easily be able to book another flight to Jamaica.

“So, they eventually disembarked us in Barbados, where we had no contacts or relatives. Shortly after our arrival, we were detained by Barbadian immigration officers. We were held in custody, and the officers treated us like hardened criminals. We were denied water and food and were subjected to inhumane treatment.”

‘I AM HYPERTENSIVE’
Ebuka told FIJ that despite being hypertensive, the Barbadian immigration officers denied her access to her medications until a later time.

“I have high blood pressure, but they didn’t let me go get my medicine from where our bags were kept. It was until a later time that another security officer helped me get my medication,” she said

“After we were released, I made several phone calls and managed to gather sufficient funds, enabling me to secure an alternative flight ticket through a different agent.

“However, the Barbadian immigration authorities refused to allow me to proceed. I am exhausted about the situation. The agent who assisted me with booking the flight has informed me that I would need to pay an additional $200 to reschedule the flight.

‘WE WERE HANDED DEPORTEE FORMS TO FILL OUT’

Ebuka told FIJ that upon their arrival at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, they were taken to the Nigerian immigration office where they were almost compelled to fill in a deportee’s form.

“When we returned to Nigeria from Barbados on December 23, we were taken to the immigration office at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, where we were handed a deportee’s form. The officials were insisting that we had been deported, until I clarified that this was not the case,” she said.

“Many of my fellow passengers were exhausted and failed to notice the nature of the document, but my prompt explanation prevented us from inadvertently signing a form that would have labelled or classified us as deportees.

“The physical strain of carrying my luggage to the car upon arrival in Lagos, coupled with the stress of preparing to travel onwards to Delta State, exacerbated my existing muscle pain, making the journey extremely arduous.

“Also, as a hypertensive individual, I was particularly vulnerable to the ordeal. The extent of my suffering defies verbal expression. Basic comforts, such as taking a bath, were denied to us.

“Air Peace should either provide a full refund or honour the original booking by transporting us directly to Kingston, the intended destination for which we paid.”

On Thursday, at exactly 6:34 pm, FIJ called Air Peace to comment on the mistreatment suffered by its passengers. Oluwatoyin, an Air Peace representative, answered the call and requested that an email be sent so that they could provide detailed information on the incident.

FIJ sent three different emails, but Air Peace did not respond.

Subsequently, on Saturday at 5:34 pm, FIJ called Air Peace again. They apologised for not responding and also admitted that they had received all three emails sent. They promised to escalate the issue to the management and resolve it.

“I’m so sorry for not replying to your emails,” Osas, an Air Peace representative, told FIJ on the phone.

“We also apologise for the inconvenience caused to all the passengers. I’ll forward this case to my supervisor, and he will escalate it to management. After that, everything will be resolved. Thank you so much.”

In my own experience, there is no soil that is bad for farming in Nigeria (even the once with oil pollution), go for soil test, and besides you didn't provide info on the soil textures etc.... But the most common in Nigeria to fix soil related issues is by applying manure.... But if you tell us the soil texture you can suggest the right manure for your soil

HealthRebecca Sekidika: Rivers First Class Graduate Dies A Week To Her UK Travel by miracle4(op): 6:23am On Feb 24, 2024
The family of Rebecca Sekidika, a 24-year-old first-class graduate of Benson Idahosa University, who died on February 2 after a routine checkup at Paragon Clinics and Imaging Diagnostics in Port Harcourt suspects medical negligent after an overdose of spinal anesthesia led to her untimely death.


The police in Rivers State have launched an investigation into the painful death of Rebecca Sekidika, a 24-year-old first-class graduate of Microbiology. The death of Rebecca, a vivacious and brilliant daughter of Sampson Sekidika, who hails from Okirika Local Government Area, Rivers State, occurred at the theatre of Paragon Clinics and Imaging situated in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Her journey to the untimely grave was painful and brief. The promising beautiful girl was hale and hearty when she walked into the hospital’s theatre for a minor medical procedure but an hour later, she had become lifeless in a pool of blood like a dead cow on the slaughter slab.

If Rebecca’s parents, especially her wealthy father who has been working as a COREN-certified engineer for the Nigeria LNG Limited for about 25 years had the premonition of the danger that lurked around, they would have discouraged their daughter from seeking further inquiries into her minor health problem.

But February 2, 2024, began like a normal day.

Rebecca had advanced her preparations to travel abroad in pursuit of further studies. Her first destination would have been the Brain Station in the UK. She was billed to travel on February 9. Her father had already secured the required visa and paid for her flight and accommodation for a six-month course on Software Engineering.

The plan was that after her six-month course, Rebecca would settle down for her master’s degree and her PhD.

Indeed, she had already parked her belongings to take off for her trip before she decided to know her health status and to have her medical record handy. The UK-bound student was already undergoing online classes before the incident.

The only complaint that moved her to seek a medical inquiry about her health was her delayed menstruation. She had gone for some weeks without observing her menses. Hence she became curious and wanted to know why.

Her curiosity took her to Paragon, a hospital serving as a retainer in Port Harcourt for the LNG where her father works. But that singular decision has become a source of agony and regrets for the Sekidikas.

Sekidika, who could not control his tears, recalled that her daughter had gone to the hospital prior to February 2, ran some medical examinations, including a pregnancy test, which turned out to be negative. He said the hospital advised her to return on the aforementioned date for further examination.

The engineer said: “Prior to February 2nd, my daughter had a brief clinical visit to Paragon Clinics and Imaging located at Number 96 Stadium Road.

“The complaint was that she had not seen her menstruation for a while. So she needed to know why. When she had the clinical visit they subjected her to some tests including pregnancy test which came out to be all negative.

“But they called her again to say she needed to see a specialist for the final examination. The specialist booked an appointment with her to come between 12 and 1pm on the 2nd of February for a simple procedure they called hysteroscopy.

“It is just a procedure that involves using a tube and a light bulb through the vagina to check if there is anything in the uterus. It is purely for diagnostic purposes. It takes between 15 to 20 minutes depending on the doctor. They have a monitor to check. It doesn’t involve giving anaesthetic. It doesn’t involve any surgery.”

On the fateful day, Sekidika drove her daughter and her mother (his wife) in his car to the hospital to undergo the procedure. They waited for the doctor for more than four hours but to no avail.

Maybe the long wait was a tell-tale sign for the parents to take their daughter home, but the senior Sekidika was no longer within the hospital; he had gone to attend to some issues within the city.

However, when he called at about 3pm to find out from his wife whether the doctor was around, he was told that they were still waiting for the specialist. In fact, the wife told him that his daughter was already online undergoing a virtual class with other students on her laptop.

At 4pm, the father, who felt that they had waited for too long, raced down to the hospital to take them home.

The traumatised Sekidika said: “I took my daughter. She was healthy. She had no medical condition. I took her with the mother to the clinic. When we got there the doctor didn’t show up between 12 and 1pm.

“I decided to leave them there to go and do one or two things and come back to meet them. At about 3pm, I called my wife and she said the doctor was still not around.

“She said my daughter had even started online classes because she went with her laptop. They were doing online classes because the physical classes would start on Monday.

“She was supposed to travel on the 9th for her masters and PhD. Everything had been arranged, including flights.

“At 4pm, I called and they said the doctor was still not around. I decided to be on my way to go and pick them.”

On getting to the hospital, it was already late. The engineer explained that when he got to the hospital, he was told that her daughter walked into the theatre at about 4:30pm.

He said: “But when I got there close to 5pm, they had already taken her to theatre at about 4:30pm. I asked why theatre and they said it was where they had the monitor.

“Since they started around 4:30pm, by 5pm she should have been out, but she was not out. At 5:30pm my wife heard a shout from the theatre: ‘Rebecca, wake up!’ That could be when she passed, I don’t know.

“We saw them running around, going in and, out and they were not telling us anything. They only told us, ‘Everything is okay. Your daughter is fine.’ We didn’t know she had died.

“Around 7pm, the doctors came out and broke the sad news to us: ‘Sorry, we did everything we could, your daughter has passed'”.

Sekidika and the wife died temporarily with the news of their daughter’s passage. While the father was numb, lost in thought and gazed motionlessly, the wife was screaming, crying and throwing herself up and down. Where did they go wrong?

The engineer said: “It was as if I was dreaming. I only asked God to wake me up from this bad dream.

“My wife started shouting and throwing herself up and down. During this period, the doctor, anaesthetist and nurses all disappeared at the third floor, leaving us there with the lifeless body.

“They ran, and where they went to, l didn’t know. In the process of shouting and crying, my wife called her sons and told them what happened to their sister. It was around 10pm.

“When we went into the theatre, we saw blood all over my daughter’s body and on the floor. I was confused.

“I have the gory pictures. I didn’t know why the blood. Nobody explained to me.”

Sekidika said while in the confused state, his colleague, who had heard what happened, rushed to the hospital to see him. He said it was the colleague, who dragged him to the office of the doctor and the anaesthetist.

He said: “My colleague came and dragged me down to see the doctor and the anaesthetist, and when we got to them, my colleague asked them what happened. The doctor pointed to the anaesthetist and said he gave her spinal anaesthesia.


“The doctor said 30 minutes after he gave her, she said she wanted to throw up and from there she started throwing up blood. At that point, the doctor said he became confused, he didn’t know what to do.

“They tried to see how they would manage the situation until she lost too much blood and passed.

“When we came out I was still confused. I didn’t know they were going to give my daughter spinal anaesthesia.

“Experts have already analysed the situation. Spinal anaesthetic is only given during a major operation. My immediate elder sister is a consultant physician. Her husband is a surgeon.

“I could easily go to any other hospital and take care of it. But this hospital is a retainer with my company. The company refers us there.

“We go there for clinical visits. But this does not entail any surgery or any form of opening up. That was why we went to this particular retainer qualified by my own company. I didn’t go there on my own”.

Sekidika said he had to reach out to his sister, the consultant physician, and told her how her niece passed at the hospital

He said: “I told my sister that I didn’t understand what they were saying. It was 12 midnight already. My sister came with her husband, went up and saw the niece and started crying. She almost fainted.

“The husband took her to see the doctor and the anaesthetist that did this. The doctor explained a similar thing that 30 minutes into the procedure he noticed that the girl was throwing up blood.

“This means that in the process of using the tube, they ruptured an artery or a vessel. The anaesthetic was killing her and then the rupture. So she bled throughout.

“My sister turned to the anaesthetist and asked, you gave her spinal anaesthetic; what for? She said even D and C and evacuation are done without anaesthetic.”

Sekidika believes that the hospital killed her daughter out of sheer negligence. But the hospital, in the sighted death certificate it issued to the family, wrote that the girl died out of coronary failure due to pulmonary embolism/vascular rupture.

The engineer has vowed to secure justice. He immediately reported the matter to the police following the advice of his company.

He said the police had begun investigation into the matter, adding that the hospital and persons involved in the painful and untimely death of his daughter must be brought to book.

It was also gathered that the NLNG had opened an independent investigations into the incident with a view to helping the family get justice and reviewing its relationship with the hospital.

The hospital, however, evaded inquiries about the incident. The reporter visited the hospital and demanded to speak to either the Chief Medical Director or the Manager, but the female receptionist said the CMD doubled as the manager.

After filling the visitation form, the receptionist demanded to know the purpose of the visit. When she was told, she made some intercom calls and eventually said the person who was supposed to attend to the inquiry was not on seat.

She took the reporter’s telephone number and promised to call him but she failed to do so. When our correspondent called the telephone number on the hospital’s website, the receiver, who identified himself as Chima, also promised to relay the inquiry to the management.

The police have since intensified investigation into the circumstances that led to the tragic end of Rebecca.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed that the manager of the hospital had been arrested and two other doctors were invited in connection with Rebecca’s death.

Iringe-Koko expressed dismay that an earlier invitation by the police to the doctor and the person that administered the anaesthetic was not honoured.

She said: “Yes, I can confirm that the manager has been arrested. We have also invited the doctor and one other person as part of our investigation. The matter has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for proper investigation.”

But while the investigation is ongoing, Sekidika and his family are grieving. “If there is something I don’t wish my enemy to go through, it is this emotional trauma,” he said.

Explaining the bond between him and her later daughter, he said: “She was my second child but my first daughter. We have been together as a close family. I have four, two girls and two boys, but they have taken away one.

“Father-daughter relationship is always very strong. This is someone that was very promising. She had everything going for her. You can imagine someone going for her masters and PhD.

“To send someone to abroad for studies by this time is not easy. You can imagine what I have gone through in opening up all accounts to get her money to send her overseas.

“Imagine the bond that we share as a closely-knit family. She was supposed to have her 25th birthday on the 29th of May. She was the event planner for the mother’s 50th birthday on the 10th of May.

“She said she was going to plan the magazine and monitor everything through zoom.”

Sekidika urged the police to be thorough in their investigation with particular reference to the foul play that dimmed his star.

He said: “I was there when the foul play took place. First and foremost they didn’t tell us they were going to give her spinal anaesthetic. They said it was a simple procedure. That is already a red flag.

“In the course of the procedure you ruptured a vessel. You were coming out and going in without telling the parents who were outside the problem.”

He said if the hospital had told them exactly what happened before her daughter’s death, he would have called her sister and the husband to immediately activate an emergency process to save her life.

He said: “I am asking for justice. I don’t wish my enemy to go through what we are going through as a family. Full investigation must go into this case. It is now between the police and them.

“A legal autopsy must be carried out to determine the real cause of death.

“From the report of the autopsy we will seek legal redress. If it is established she died out of incompetence and sheer negligence, the law knows what to do with them.

“I lived most of my life overseas. I studied them. If we were overseas, first and foremost they would have sealed that hospital because every minute something similar will happen again.

“I want my own case to be the last. I will do everything to get justice. I want them to bring these people to book.”

Painfully, even Sekidika knows that justice will not bring her daughter back to life. Forever, the memories of her lovely daughter will continue to resonate in him. He will continue to imagine the pains she passed through before giving up as well as her unfulfilled dreams and aspirations.

My experience with my Lutian generator bought since 6 years ago has been nothing short of awesomeness. In fact, the Lutian generator review we made some years back was because it was completely new to me.

I will be updating the review post with the new image of the generator after six years of active usage. No major repairs so far! Only oil and plug changes. Serving brilliantly well up till now!
