Air Nigeria, the national carrier and
second-largest airline of the West African nation, has been grounded for safety
checks. The move comes days after one of the country's worst air crashes
resulted in the deaths of all 153 people on board. Thousands of Air Nigeria
passengers are now left stranded as rumours of financial troubles and an
engineers' strike adds to the challenges facing the carrier. The most damning
claims, however, come from John Nnorom, former finance director, who says the
airline's engineers are under commercial pressure to certify unfit aircraft for
travel. Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege reports from Abuja.
