Arik Air staff nabbed with cocaine at Hearthrow airport

A flight attendant with Arik Air was yesterday night arrested at Heathrow Airport, London for allegedly possessing 2.76 kilogramme of a substance suspected to be cocaine. The man has been identified as Chika Egwu Udensi. Spokesman of the airline, Mr. Ola Adebanji, in a statement released today, said the airline is presently investigating the matter. Read the statement after the cut...



The statement in part reads
“The airline again reaffirms its commitment to the fight against drug and illicit substances’ trafficking and will not tolerate the use of any of its aircraft or crew for the courier of banned items and substances. Arik Air carries out very stringent checks on all members of staff and its travelling guests ahead of all flights. The airline will continue to focus its attention on measures to prevent the possibility of any future similar incidents. Arik Air is a responsible Nigerian company always seeking to maintain and uphold the integrity and proud reputation of the nation.”.

  40. Chika was a fantastic crew. He had loads of responsibilities on his shoulder, as d 1st son of his aged mom, he was training his younger ones as well as looking after his mom, his wife is a full time house wife with 2 kids, arik hasn't paid salaries in 3 months. He was indeed pushed. I feel so sorry 4 him. A cool headed n nice guy to d core

    I know they can try to package kids traveling unaccompanied

  47. The boy messed up but I heard a lot about Arik airline how they underpay their staffs and owe them up to 4months of salary before pay though this is not an excuse for his action but it's can on the other hand cause this staffs to think of such indecent act. I believe the government needs to probe the welfare of the staffs of this company as this could also lead to such act.. Nigeria please let us all stand up for what is right

  48. You people can say what ever your mind set for but one thing i know certainly is that Nigeria situation now is to get rich at once or die trying.
