Spokesperson of the NCAA, Mr. Michael Achinmugu, confirmed the development in a post on his X handle.

However, he did not give further details on the sisters and the destination they were traveling to.

He said, “Calls were made for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, but her sister said that the problem is more spiritual than medical and, therefore, did not need a hospital.

“She is presently receiving attention at the FAAN clinic. Hopefully, she makes a recovery. This is not how things should be.”

Daily Trust reports that passengers travelling on a domestic flight are expected to arrive at the airport one hour before departure to complete the pre-departure formalities while for the international passengers, they are to arrive two hours before the flight.
