Blackout Rocks Parts Of Lagos International Airport

Image
Some parts of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos has been thrown into darkness for over three hours without any explanation from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).  Sahara Reporters at the international wing of the airport observed that the carousel area at the E-arrival  wing has been in darkness for major part of today without any solution to the problem by the engineers of FAAN. Also, the arrival area outside the terminal to the former car park, Home-tel, which is now used as a staff car park for FAAN officials, limousines and cab operators is also in total darkness. Passengers arriving from international destinations are made to trek to the car park in darkness, which is over 300 meters from the terminal, thereby exposing them to danger.

The ticket stated Sarah Walton's vehicle had been in the town's Asda car park for 14 hours Asda bosses have been forced to apologize to a customer who was wrongly sent a £70 parking fine after visiting a store twice in one day. The ticket stated Sarah Walton's car was in the Grimsby supermarket car park for 14 hours. In reality the vehicle was driven to the store twice that day - once briefly in the morning, and then again later at night. Ms Walton was shocked when she got the fine, branding it is 'incomprehensible'. She told the Grimsby Telegraph : "Even if you worked there you wouldn't stay 14 hours." The alleged parking infringement took place on Thursday, December 7, when her husband had been driving the car, which is in her name. He says that he went to the store in the morning just after 7am on his way to work to use the cash machine, driving in one end of car park and leaving through another. Later that day he took
