Nigerian travelers aboard an Air France flight from Paris to Abuja experienced an unforeseen delay in Chad.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, in a post shared on his X handle on Saturday, June 1.
The caption reads: “It has come to my attention that some Nigerians on an Air France flight from Paris to Abuja are presently stranded in Chad, from where the flight earlier dropped some passengers.
“I have immediately directed the Consumer Protection Department of the NCAA to swing into action and engage Air France. We shall inform everyone of the outcome soon.”
Keyamo also urged Air France to “immediately issue a statement on the fate of those Nigerians.”
In the video, about seven individuals were seen lamenting the situation, with one of them describing it as a “mess.”
