Aviation Services Limited, operators of the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2
(MMA2), Lagos, on Tuesday, announced that a female passenger of IRS
Airlines slumped at the departure terminal of the airport.

The passenger,
Chinyere Njebu, who died while being transported to hospital by Zenith
Medicals, an ambulance therapeutic service company stationed at the
terminal, was said to have been drinking with an unidentified man at
the Barcellos eatery in the departure terminal. Chukwudum Ofomata, the
media representative for Bi-Courtney, said that the incident happened
on Monday at about 12noon, adding that Ms Njebu was supposed to catch a
flight for Abuja before her demise.

Staff of the eatery
confirmed that the deceased bought two cans of stout and was drinking
with a man, who could not be found by security operatives at the
airport after the incident. “She bought two cans of stout and was
drinking it with this guy who we won’t be able to identify before she
suddenly slumped,” said Atoyebi Taofeek, a supervisor for Barcellos.
“Airport officials rushed her in a stretcher and she was taken to a
hospital by the Zenith ambulance. But after the doctor diagnosed her,
he said that she had traits of hypertension and her blood sugar level
was tested to be a little unusual.”
