London-bound Nigerian passenger dies aboard Egypt Air Flight, corpse ‘dumped in cairo’

A young Nigerian lady (name withheld) has died aboard Egypt Air flight en route to London, United Kingdom.

According to Daily Trust report, the lady left Nigeria for London onboard Egypt Air MS 876 flight to Cairo on Monday through the Murtala Muhammad International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, but died on board.

A family source who confirmed the incident to the publication, however, said the corpse was dropped in Cairo, the Egypt Capital by the airline.

“The family said the Airline didn’t inform them, but rather they got a message from the consular office in Cairo informing them of her death on board the flight. Please they need to know what exactly happened and how to get her corpse back to Nigeria,” a source close to the family said.

The lady was going to London on a student visa and boarded Egypt Air on connecting flight to London.

She was to connect to London via Egypt Air MS777 the following day.

There was no immediate response from Egypt Air but a source close to the airline said they were still awaiting information from Cairo on the incident.
