Festus Keyamo, SAN, Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, has condemned Royal Air Maroc, a Moroccan airline, for allegedly mistreating Nigerian passengers in Morocco.
The Minister stated that the Moroccan airline took off from Casablanca and was bound for Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, but had to make an emergency landing in Marrakesh, Morocco, for various technical reasons.
The Minister was enraged because the airline abandoned their passengers, the majority of whom were Nigerians, leaving them without food or shelter, with some, including women and children, sleeping on the floor.
He said:
“I have just been informed of the inhuman treatment some Nigerians have been subjected to by ROYAL AIR MAROC @RAM_Maroc in Marrakesh, Morocco,” he wrote on his official X handle.
“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 @RAM_Maroc to immediately remedy this situation, I have directed the Consumer Protection Department of the NCAA to immediately engage ROYAL AIR MAROC NIGERIA @royalairmarocng to bring immediate relief to these Nigerians.”
