An aircraft conveying Nigerian citizens from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has made a U-turn after a pregnant woman gave birth to a baby mid-air.
This was disclosed by the Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa.
It was gathered that the airline left Dubai for Lagos at 10.00am but an hour into the about eight-hour trip, the woman gave birth, forcing the pilots to return the plane to Dubai to disembark the mother and the new born.
The plane, which was scheduled to arrive at 3.00pm is now expected to land at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 7.00pm or thereabout.
