Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on National Security and Intelligence, Ahmed Satomi, revealed that Vice President Kashim Shettima was already airborne for an hour when the aircraft carrying him to the United States, where he was scheduled to represent President Bola Tinubu at the 2024 US-Africa Business Summit, developed a fault.
He stated that the aircraft carrying the second-highest-ranking citizen was forced to return to Abuja, deeming the incident an embarrassment to the country.
