Drugged Passenger Bites Air Official

What: Egypt Air flight MF 968 en route from Cairo to Kuala Lumpur
Where: Mumbai international airport
When: Emergency landing 3 am on Friday; transport to hospital Monday May 11
Who: Ojo Joshua Oladele
Why: The passenger exhibited violent behavior while aboard the Cairo-Kuala Lumpur flight. (He assaulted the crew and bit the air marshall.) When his behavior became uncontrollable, the plane landed in Mumbai, where the passenger was escorted to Cooper Hospital suffering the throes of withdrawal. Because the Nigerian passenger did not have an Indian Visa, he was held in the airport in the custody of “security.” According to officials, when his condition improves, he will be sent back to Nigeria.

George’s Point of View

I wonder what the status is of his visa now?
