● Declares: “He is no longer our pilot”
Azman Air has distanced itself from Jamil Abubakar, a former pilot in its crew, for allegedly supporting killers of Deborah Yakubu.
The airline in a public notice disowned him, stating that:
“Capt. Jamil Abubakar is no longer a pilot @AzmanAir; his last flight with us was 22nd Dec 2019.”
Azman Air tweeted the rebuttal on its verifued Twitter handle.
Azman airline distanced itself from Jamil Abubakar, a member of the Dangote family, 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 member 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 to inform Nigerians that the pilot had ceased to be its staff member 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 a former staff member. The public should kindly take note.”
Ms 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.
