Passengers Stranded, Angry As Power Fails At Muritala Mohammed Airport, Lagos

Passengers Express Open Disappointment

Passengers reportedly went ‘mad’ yesterday at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos state following a power outage.

The passengers were said to have been kept in the dark for hours as immigration officials did not not address the anxious crowd.

According to Yemisi Adegoke, a BBC reporter, the airport did not switch to another alternative power while the power outage lasted.

Officials were said to have taken foreigners among the passengers to another section of the airport where there was power.

Passengers on queue were said to have been frustrated as they could not proceed with the boarding processes.

The reporter published videos to show the outrage of passengers
