On Tuesday, a 37-year-old Nigerian woman embarked on a flight from Lagos International Airport to Doha, Qatar, aboard Qatar Airways flight QR1408. Her brother, Jonathan Jibo, reported that the family last communicated with her via WhatsApp while she was still aboard the aircraft, utilizing the flight's Wi-Fi. The scheduled pick-up person was waiting at the airport, but upon arrival, the woman did not meet him.
The family then contacted the airport desk and the airline, who confirmed she had collected her luggage. This information has raised concerns among the family, as the woman is familiar with airport procedures, having worked at Lagos Airport for nearly a decade. Jibo stated that his sister was a first-time traveler abroad, had no friends in Qatar, and had already arranged and paid for her accommodation and other preparations months prior to her trip.
She was also set to resume work in Doha shortly after her arrival. The brother also tagged the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, Mr. Michael Achimugu, in his post on X.
