Senator Adams Oshiomole responds after being accüsed of disrüpting airline operations in Lagos

Former Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomole, has denied reports he shut down the Zulu terminal at General Aviation Terminal GAT at the Lagos airport terminal after missing his flight to Abuja on Wednesday, June 11.

Freshreporters media had reported few hours ago that according to eyewitnesses, the Senator representing Edo North in the Senate, had arrived the terminal at 6:10am to catch a Flight to Abuja, scheduled to depart at 6:30 am.

However, the boarding process was said to have already been closed and the flight departed as scheduled.

It is alleged that upon being told that he had missed his flight, Oshiomole became aggressive and engaged the airline staff in a heated argument ad went on to block the terminal entrance, preventing other passengers from accessing the departure hall.

However in a chat with Arise TV, Oshiomole denied the allegation. He said that despite arriving the airport at 6am, 30 minutes before the flight and checking in his luggage online, the airline staff still marked him and other passengers absent, insisting that the only way they could get on the next flight was to pay an additional N109, 000 which he rejected.

According to him, the airline staff had tried to give him a preferential treatment after finding out who he was but he insisted that the same treatment to be given to him must be given to other aggrieved passengers.

The Former APC Chairman says his decision to enforce his rights and that of others at the airport including women and children is why the airline is accusing him of disrupting its operations. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
