A top British diplomat on Tuesday
slumped and died at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, security
officials at the flagship airport said.
The envoy, who was said to have....
arrived
aboard a United Airlines flight, died at the arrival hall shortly after
disembarking from the plane around 3pm.
A top security operative at the airport said the diplomat might have died of heart-related complications.
“He was shouting help! Help! and then
slumped. People did not want to go near initially because of the Ebola
scare that has been in town,” the official added.
The spokesman for the Federal Airport
Authority of Nigeria, Mr. Yakubu Dati, confirmed that somebody died at
the airport but said the identity of the person had yet to be
ascertained. Also, the Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, Mr. Wahab Salau, also
confirmed that a foreigner had died at the airport on Tuesday
afternoon. Airport officials confirmed that officials from the British embassy came
to evacuate the corpse from the airport at about 7.45pm.
