A lady caused stir at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Sunday after fainting when she was involved in a flight after missing her flight.
The two sisters, both adults, reportedly booked to travel via a NG Eagle flight but they missed the flight after arriving the airport late.
This, however, led to a fight between the two sisters who reportedly scattered their bags and created a scene before the airport security intervened.
It was learnt that the two sisters were dragged to the interrogation office where they continued their scuffle and in the process, one of them fainted.
Spokesperson of the NCAA, Mr. Michael Achinmugu, confirmed the development in a post on his X handle.
However, he did not give further details on the sisters and the destination they were traveling to.
He said, “Calls were made for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, but her sister said that the problem is more spiritual than medical and, therefore, did not need a hospital.
“She is presently receiving attention at the FAAN clinic. Hopefully, she makes a recovery. This is not how things should be.”
Daily Trust reports that passengers travelling on a domestic flight are expected to arrive at the airport one hour before departure to complete the pre-departure formalities while for the international passengers, they are to arrive two hours before the flight. (Weekend Trust, excluding headline)
