Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has alleged that the newly unveiled Nigeria Air plane has jetted back to Addis Ababa.
Recall that the aircraft arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, last week Friday
It was learnt that the flight which took off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia arrived in the country on the 26th of may 2023, after which the Minister of Aviation, Hai Sirika described it as a long tedious and difficult project.
Meanwhile reports revealed that the aircraft is owned by Ethiopian Airlines as the Word 'ET-APL' is written on the wing of the planes operated by Ethiopian Airlines.
This generated outrage online with many Nigerians criticizing the Federal government for claiming ownership.
Taking to his Twitter page, David Hundeyin accused the federal government of engaging in a hurried paint job that would be removed in Addis Ababa.
He wrote:
Behold your freshly commissioned 'Nigderia Air' Boeing 737 heading back to Addis Ababa right now as we speak, where the hurried paint job will be removed and it will go back into @flyethiopian regular service, job done for @hadisirika.
