Some angry Nigerians last night took extreme measures in order to prevent a just arrived Turkish Airline plane from leaving the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport, Abuja.

They are Nigerians based in Turkey and had arrived the county in very high spirits last Sunday onboard Turkish Airlines to celebrate Christmas with their loved ones. Only to find out on landing, that their luggage had not been flown down with them from Istanbul, Turkey. They were told to check back on Tuesday, and when they showed up at the airport on Tuesday, were asked to come back again on Thursday.

Last night they checked back, and when their luggage was still no where to be found, the stranded passengers swore not to let the Turkish Airline that just landed to leave till they get a good response. These guys lay down beside the tires to ensure that while others vented their anger and frustration.

At the end they will label that Nigeria has the worst Aviation Standard, the Turkish Airline should compensate all the affected passengers for any inconvenience they might have caused them or face legal actions from the passengers.

Na wa o. It is only in Nigeria that issues like this are seen. We are no longer treated and given the respect we deserve even in our own country. If na me na small thing go remain make I no blow up the plane.

I most do xmas for 9ja

This is a sad situation. I can imagine the frustration of those passengers. Coming over to Nigeria and then having your luggage stuck somewhere for days without anybody really doing anything about it.
As usual, now that it has become an international embarrassment, their issues would be sorted out speedily.

That notwithstanding, this highlights serious security issues in our airports. How come a group of disgruntled passengers were able to get so close to the plane. What if their demonstration suddenly turns violent and they start vandalising the plane? So if terrorists actually want to blow up a plane this is the same way they would have easy access. Na wa o.

Fvking airline

Even though the passengers have a good case, what they are doing has implications on Aviation Safety/Security. How did they gain access to the aircraft. Besides, they could also be put on the no-fly list. There are organs with responsibility for dealing with passenger/customer complaints in Nigeria.

How they addressed their grievances is not my problem, but how they accessed the airport tarmac without a boarding pass is worrisome. This is a serious breach in security which shows how ineptitude our airport securities are.

The aircraft is no longer safe because its safety has been compromised.

Someone at the top must be held accountable for this show of shame and madness.

That guy taking a Selfie... Just epic

De only Good thing in dis.. country.....

Lol

Some of those people have promised their relations gifts

Others have their clothes for Xmas posing inside the luggage.
Turkish airlines better get it out!!

That guy lying next to the tyres get mind o. If na me,na so so bad bad tins go dey come my mind... Like

(1) What if the pilot just start the plane suddenly
(2) What if the ground has superglue that I'd be so glued to the ground
(3) What if one kind wind blow and move the plane
