Air Peace has denied claims by Senator Adams Oshiomhole that he checked in online before missing his flight, challenging him to present his boarding pass as proof.
- Oshiomhole claimed he checked in online at 7:49 pm the night before the flight.
- Air Peace says its system shows no record of online check-in by the senator.
- The airline’s operations manager challenged Oshiomhole to show a boarding pass.
- Airline insists no passengers were extorted or charged after check-in closure.
- Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has ordered an investigation into the incident.
This face-off between a sitting senator and Nigeria’s flagship airline has become a litmus test for how public figures and private operators handle accountability. Air Peace’s challenge puts the burden of proof squarely on Oshiomhole, while the aviation ministry’s involvement signals growing concerns about passenger treatment and operational transparency.
Until Oshiomhole produces a boarding pass or solid evidence, Air Peace is standing by its story. Meanwhile, Nigerians will be watching the aviation ministry’s investigation closely, especially as tensions between VIPs and airlines increasingly play out in public.
