The mystery surrounding how a Royal Air Maroc flight with registration number CN – ROR landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, with its baggage compartment open is yet to be unravelled. The flight touched down at about 0404 Friday.
Aviation Security personnel that escorted the aircraft upon landing, insist there was no invader around the aircraft. Meaning that has been the case a couple of times, no invaders forced the baggage compartment open to steal luggage.
A release by Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, FAAN’s General Manager, Corporate Affairs, says the suspicion is “that the opening must have been as a result of forced landing.”
Yakubu said that all passengers on the flight got their luggage. The only person whose luggage did not arrive is passenger Tazi Larbi. His luggage with tag number 829116 was left in Morocco.
Investigation into the incident to ascertain the cause are on.
“The aircraft pushed back at about 0530 hours and was airborne to Morocco at 0540 hours”, Mrs Yakubu disclosed.
