Festus Keyamo (SAN)

Keyamo, in a post on his X account on Wednesday, anchored his attack on the liquidation of Nigeria Airways and the decades-long struggle by former workers of the defunct national carrier to receive their outstanding pensions, gratuities and other entitlements.

Keyamo disclosed this on Thursday following the announcement by Saudi Ambassador to Nigeria, Yousef Bin Mohammed Al-Balawi, at the Kingdom’s 96th National Day celebration in Abuja.

Keyamo made the remarks in a statement posted on X on Wednesday, September 9, following Tuesday’s incident in which Obi’s convoy was blocked by youths along the Gboko-Makurdi Expressway while he was travelling to Yelwata in Guma Local Government Area.
