Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo (SAN) has reacted to the clash between Senator Adams Oshiomhole and Air Peace.

Keyamo said: “In the wake of the incident at the Lagos Airport last Wednesday involving Air Peace and His Excellency, Senator Adams Oshiomhole, I have been in direct contact with both parties since that morning.”

“Whilst appealing to both sides to halt the public accusations and counter-accusations, I am further directing the relevant aviation agencies to thoroughly look into the issue, collect all available evidence, and revert to my office so we can deal with the issue in such a way as to guide future conduct in similar situations.”

For those who don’t know, Air Peace and Oshiomhole engaged in a war of words after an incident on Wednesday morning at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1, Zulu Hall.

Air Peace had accused Oshiomhole of violence and disruption of a flight on Wednesday, which the lawmaker denied, claiming that the airline prevented him and others from boarding despite completing online check-in.

On the other hand, Oshiomhole accused Air Peace of extortion. An allegation that the airline denied.
