You know a Nigerian was gagged and killed while deporting him from Spain and no man deserves the right to be treated that way. In a western world where one can be charged for cruelty to animals....such cruelty to another human being is totally unacceptable....you think they'd do that same thing to an American?
This situation is only a reflection of the level of disrespect that BA has for Nigerians and its been ongoing…the only difference here is that someone has decided to speak up…and No, its got nothing to do with zero level of tolerance.
...and the biggest shame is that at the end of the day, Nigerians are only left with matters in their hands with online protests and its like...We cannot rely on our government to give a louder voice in times like this. |
I agree. However there is no evidence that the man was being mistreated. That is my point! Ayo never mentions the state of the Deportee in his transcript. . . only that he was screaming "I go die!'. Ayo only mentions the 'disturbance' which says to me that he was more concerned by the noise the the Deportee was making more than anything else. If the Deportee had been bruised beaten and was been sat on by several more people than necessarily then I would understand your stance.
You mentioned the one in Spain. And this is why I wrote this, which you missed:
'BA is not the only airline in the world that transfers Deportees and they so happen to be legally obligated by UK law to do so. It is not their fault if a Deportee decides to make a scene. What did Mr Over-Sabi want them to do? Sedate the Deportee, gag him and put a bag over his head like the Spanish did to one who choked to death on the Spanish flight a year or so ago? If Mr Over-Sabi had wanted peace and quiet on his flight then he should have forked out for first class. Simple!'
In short, some Deportees do not leave quietly or willingly and so they are likely to cause a scene. Unless Mr Ayo can say he saw with his own two eyes that this man was been restrained unnecessarily, then he doesn't have a case.
