Two Nigerians Fight Aboard A Moving Aircraft

Two Nigerians threw caution to the wind and exchanged blows aboard a Chanchangi Airlines flight. The aircraft was on its way to Lagos from Abuja, and was just preparing to take off from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

According to news reports, the fight started when a passenger refused to comply with the order from the pilot and cabin crew to switch off all cell phones. Totally oblivious to the events around him, he was still talking on his mobile phone and when he was asked to switch it off, he became abusive. This drew the ire of another passenger who confronted him.
The caller was said to have rained abuses on the other passenger, and the exchange of words soon degenerated into a fight.

With this new development, the pilot ordered all the passengers to disembark, and called for the immediate arrest of the two errant passengers. They were detained by the airport police, and the flight later left for Lagos without them.

Well, so much for Nigerians and their respect for law and order. Some people have such an overpowering sense of importance that they even flout simple rules which are for their own safety.
