The drama
that played out recently after an Emirate Airlines flight which picked up from
Murtala Muhammed Airport, Ikeja landed safely at the Guangzhou Baiyun
International Airport, China, according to eyewitness account goes beyond what
a screenplay writer could have imagine; going by the intensity of suspense
embellished in it.
It was learnt that when one of the passengers on board, Prince Chu Ikem Orji was to be checked before boarding, he declared to the emirate airline officials that he’s having a whopping sum of 1.6million dollars in four separate brief cases.
It was learnt that when one of the passengers on board, Prince Chu Ikem Orji was to be checked before boarding, he declared to the emirate airline officials that he’s having a whopping sum of 1.6million dollars in four separate brief cases.
He was given
assurance that his money would be safe, hence told to drop the briefcase at the
luggage compartment, which the man consented.
But money,
being the root of all evil as it is generally averred turned into a fly and
disappeared from the luggage room into a thin air as the man couldn’t find any
of the four briefcases on getting to Guangzhou International Baiyun Airport,
China.
However,
investigation into the embarrassing matter has led to the amended charge of 11
persons who were directly or indirectly in association with the whereabouts of
the missing money on an 11-count charge including felony, stealing, acquired by
force, fraud, and obtaining under false pretence by the Federal Government of
Nigeria (complainant).
In a court
suit filed at the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Lagos with Charge No:
FHC/386C/2009 which was made available to us, Emirate Airlines, Pathfinders
International Limited, Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Limited, Mr. Abayomi
Adekanbi Abiola, Isiaka Adegoke Adedeji, Awonubi Abayomi and George Ikpekhia
were charged as accused persons dated March 27, 2015.
