The Airbus340 had already started its engines and was preparing to depart when officers of the country's National Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) stopped the man, named in Nigeria as Mohammed Ibrahim Wudil, 34, as he was about to board.
Engines running, but he hadn't boarded yet? Clever trick! Plus, surely one of the crew would be on board BEFORE engine start??
A London-bound Virgin flight was dramatically stopped from taking off in Nigeria as police swooped on a drug-smuggling member of the cabin crew.
I thought the a/c was still at the gate?? More fantastic journalism!
