The management of Azman Airlines today officially disassociated itself and denounced one of the top pilots, captain Jamal Abubakar that who is no longer a pilot at AzmanAir; ‘his last flight with us was 22nd Dec 2019,” Azman Air said in a rebuttal tweet.
Azman airline distanced its organization from Jamil Abubakar, 24 hours after he justified the killing of Deborah Samuel by Islamic extremists.
Nigerians with the impression that Mr. Abubakar was an Azman Air staff launched tirades against the company for employing the services of a perceived religious bigot.
Dissociating the airline from Mr. Abubakar, Azman Air released a statement on Sunday to inform Nigerians that the pilot had ceased to be their staff since 2019.
“PUBLIC NOTICE: Capt Jamil Abubakar is no longer a pilot @AzmanAir; his last flight with us was 22nd Dec 2019,” Azman Air said in a rebuttal tweet. “We refuse to take responsibility for a comment or view of former staff. The general public should kindly take note.”
Deborah Samuel, a 200-level Home-Economics student accused of blasphemy, had complained bitterly over the influx of religious broadcast messages shared to her department’s WhatsApp page.
Her complaints elicited the fury of fanatical coursemates and schoolmates who stoned her to death and set her lifeless body ablaze.
