What happens when a former labour leader challenges an airline’s operations? Air Peace is firing back at Senator Adams Oshiomhole, calling his Lagos airport disruption dishonest and “shameful.”
- Oshiomhole accused Air Peace of denying him boarding despite checking in online.
- He alleged staff resold seats to last-minute buyers at inflated rates.
- Air Peace denies all claims, insists flight had 30+ empty seats.
- The airline demands CCTV evidence and challenges Oshiomhole to name any extorted passenger.
- FAAN is yet to release official footage or respond publicly.
A travel mishap has snowballed into a public war of words. Air Peace accuses Oshiomhole of staging a scene for attention, while the senator paints it as a fight for fairness. The truth may lie on CCTV. A missed flight has turned into a national spectacle, but Nigerians just want safe, fair travel, no matter who’s flying.
Should high-profile passengers be held to stricter public standards or is airline accountability still too weak? For a nation where flight delays and boarding confusion are common, this dispute reignites urgent questions about regulation, privilege, and trust in service providers.
