The spokesman of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Yakubu
Dati has responded to issues surrounding the private jet owned by the
Rivers state governor Rotimi Amaechi, which was claimed to be grounded;
stating that they have no business dealings with the Rivers state
government because they are in talks with the owners of the plane, Bank
of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dati explained that the private plane
applied to come into Nigeria from America and was given clearance on the March 27 to leave on April 2; the application was made by
the owners of the aircraft. He added that it was wrong for a foreign
registered aircraft to fly into the country and embark on domestic
shuttles without notifying the aviation authorities.
Dati also said the
authorities had no information that the Rivers government was operating
on the said aircraft. He said investigations show that the aircraft had
flown to airports beyond Owerri and Akure that were not captured in the
documentation they submitted while coming into the country even after
the expiration of the permit.
