A Nigerian lady, Kafayat Amusan, one of the stranded Nigeria travellers returning from Dubai, UAE, has been delivered of a baby boy on board an Emirates Airline flight that departed to Lagos on Wednesday.
She put to bed on board the plane 30 minutes after departure, which resulted in the pilot returning to Dubai.
According to the Nigerian in Diaspora Commission, Amusan is currently on admission at a hospital in Dubai.
The Nigerian Ambassador in UAE, A. Rimi, and staff of the Embassy are in touch with the mother and child who are in good condition, a statement by the spokesman of NIDCOM, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, on Wednesday said.
Emirates Airline had to change to another aircraft which landed shortly before press time at the Murtala Muhammed International airport, Lagos, with 265 returnees on board.
The Chairman/CEO of NIDCOM, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, congratulated Amusan for another addition to her family, praying she returns safely to the country.
Dabiri-Erewa said she will return to Nigeria after obtaining birth certificate and other necessary travel documents for her baby boy.
