APR 22, 2003 (newstodate): The Government of the Russian Federation and the Consular Department in Lagos are in a row over with the Nigerian Government over a Belarus Tu-154 taken into custody at Lagos Airport by the Nigerian Immigration Service.
12 crew from the Belarus carrier, Airport Gomelavia, were detained prior to the departure from Lagos with 62 passengers in early April.
The Nigerian security offers are working on the theory that the crew may belong to a human trafficking syndicate, who may have come to Nigeria to airlift unsuspecting passengers.
