I just got an email from an Arik Air pilot who wants to remain
anonymous. Below is his side of the story about the incident that
happened at Abuja airport yesterday. His version below...
Yesterday in Abuja, arik air was to operate a scheduled flight from Abuja to Sokoto at 8am. But the flight was canceled. Passengers got angry and anxious to know when they'll leave Abuja.
Then a bombardier Q400 aircraft was provided to fly them to Sokoto by 1pm.
As they boarded, the pilot announced the plane had a snag so he
disembarked the Sokoto passengers. Angry passengers got haywire on the
ramp where aircraft were parked and hijacked 3 Arik aircraft from taking
off. I was to fly to Benin from Abuja 3pm flight. Angry Passengers sat on the foot of the Aircraft blocking Benin passenger from boarding
