According to a report on Linda’s blog, this is the new strategy of stealing on plane (during air flights).
The “thieves” actually buy business class tickets just to
steal from the rich men in that section of the plane.
A certain politican, Prince Buruji Kashamu,who was recently robbed of $62, 000 on Arik flight, has this to say: “I have never heard of this type of daylight robbery and didn’t think I
would be the first but the next time it happens to me, Arik Air should
be ready for me.
I had $62,000 ( sixty two thousand dollars) in my briefcase and saw the
money just before I went through screening. I noticed in the car on my
way to the hotel that the money has mysteriously left my suitcase. Arik air either has a ring of thieves doing this operation in
collaboration with the operators of the screening machine or has a
spirit that steals from its overhead compartment”
You will recall that last year, social media strategist/blogger Omojuwa Japheth also encountered such, he lost his Ipad on plane (Arik air plane)…the case generated so much buzz on twitter and at the end of the day, the organisation had to refund the Ipad…..
