…Says diplomatic negotiations to release detained Nigerian passengers ongoingBy Chinelo Obogo, LagosEthiopian Airlines has denied allegations of maltreatment of Nigerian passengers who transit through Addis Ababa, the country’s capital city. “About 70% of our passengers transit through Addis Ababa. It’s only 30% that come in and go out and the transit time in Addis Ababa varies from 20 minutes. If you don’t declare it during customs, you will have problems taking it out. It is unfortunate we don’t want any passenger to be inconvenienced as they pass through Addis Ababa airport, but some things are beyond our control.”
