According to a family source, “The airline didn’t inform them, but rather they got a message from the consular office in Cairo informing them of her death on board the flight. Please, they need to know what exactly happened and how to get her corpse back to Nigeria,” a source close to the family said.
The young lady was traveling to London on a student visa and had planned to continue her journey with Egypt Air MS777 the following day.
