The doctors were stopped at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Friday.

According to the Comptroller General, Muhammad Babandede, 56 of the 58 doctors billed to be airlifted to the UK on a special flight for a “training programme” in London were refused departure as they had no Entry Visas to their destination country.

“The chartered flight approved for landing in Nigeria was to carry forty-two medical doctors for a training program but they were fifty-eight with only two having Visa for entry into UK, a situation that calls for refusal of departure.
