The first batch of Nigerians expected from the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday had to return to base for a short period, after a woman went into labour mid air.
Abike Dabiri-Erewa, chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, confirmed this to TheCable on Wednesday.
The plane made a U-turn after the woman who gave birth developed complications.
“A Nigerian lady, Mrs. Kafayat Amusan, one of the stranded Nigerians travellers returning from Dubai, has been delivered of a baby,” she said.
“She developed complications on board , which resulted in the plane returning back to Dubai after take-off. She is currently admitted at a hospital in Dubai.”
According to Dabiri-Erewa, Mohammed Rimi, the Nigerian ambassador in Dubai, and staff of the embassy are in touch with the mother and child who are in good condition.
“Emirates had to change to another aircraft which is now enroute Lagos with 265 returnees on board,” she added.
