Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared he was not on board the Boeing 777-300 aircraft Ethiopian flight that encountered bad weather during landing at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Wednesday.

Obasanjo was widely reported to have been among the 393 passengers on the flight from Adiss-Ababa, capital of Ethiopia.

However, the former President said he didn’t travel, let alone board the flight.

Obasanjo made the clarification through his spokesperson, Kehinde Akinyemi.

Akinyemi said Obasanjo had been in his home in Abeokuta, Ogun State and the former President never traveled.
