The Tinubu-led Federal government has expressed displeasure over the cruel treatment meted out to Nigerian passengers by Royal Air Maroc in Morocco.
The Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, said the inhumane treatment of Nigerian passengers by Royal Air Maroc cannot be accepted by the federal government.
Some videos and pictures of Nigerian passengers who boarded the Royal Air Maroc sleeping on the floor in Marrakesh, Morocco, flooded social media.
Keyamo, in reaction to some of the videos and pictures, explained that the stop at Marrakesh was a result of a technical issue developed by the plane carrying the passengers.
He, however, ordered the Royal Air Maroc to immediately bring relief to the Nigerian passengers.
On his X handle, on Friday, Keyamo wrote:
Quote
“I have just been informed of the inhumane treatment some Nigerians have been subjected to by ROYAL AIR MAROC in Marrakesh, Morocco.
“My information is that the flight took off from Casablanca and was headed for Abuja, but had to make an emergency landing in Marrakesh for some technical reason(s).
“However, the passengers, majority of whom are Nigerians, have been left without care at the terminal and without food and decent shelter, with women and children sleeping on the floor!
“Whilst I call on ROYAL AIR MAROC to immediately remedy this situation, I have directed the Consumer Protection Department of the NCAA to immediately engage ROYAL AIR MAROC NIGERIA to bring immediate relief to these Nigerians.”
