A Chartered jet conveying former head of state and a leading
candidate of the opposition All
progressives Congress (APC), retired General Muhammad Buhari was prevented from
landing in Makurdi today around 1pm.
A source close to the general told Saharareporters that some
20 minutes before landing, the pilot was informed that the jet did not have
permission to land in Makurdi, citing an order from above.
Attempts by General Buhari’s handlers to speak with aviation
authorities failed as they claimed persons involved in reversing the order
could no longer be reached by phone.
Minister of aviation,
Osita Chidoka, claimed he was not aware of such developments.
