The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), has narrated how efforts were made to save the life of a female passenger at the Abuja airport.
While the Agency regretted the incident, Faithful A. Hope-Ivbaze, Ag General Manager, Corporate Affairs, said the incident happened at about 0834hours on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
According to her, the female passenger was waiting to board a Lagos bound flight from the domestic terminal of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja and was observed having difficulty in breathing at the boarding hall, but later passed on after frantic efforts made at resuscitating her, including the administration of CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) proved abortive in the circumstances.
“Although the Authority has processed millions of passengers through the airport without any such incident over the years, we deeply regret that despite spirited efforts by our medical officials to resuscitate her, she was confirmed dead at about 0906hours, and her remains was subsequently taken to the NAF Medical Centre.
“The Authority uses this opportunity to express our profound condolences to her family and friends on this unfortunate loss and pray that her soul finds rest with the Lord.” added Hope-Ivbaze.
