FEB 4, 2021
The country manager for Asky Airline, Worlanyo Afadzinu, has confirmed that one person has been picked up and handed over to the Police over the fake covid-19 test results handed over a traveller on the Nigerian-bound flight.
Speaking on the Morning Starr on Thursday, Mr Afadzinu said investigations are still underway to arrest the perpetrators at the Kotoka International Airport who handed over the fake covid-19 test results to the travellers.
“The airline is not responsible for any test results. We refer you to a facility for testing and when we are not satisfied, we call the facility. Per my last briefing, the Managing Director of the handling company told me the gentleman involved in this matter has been handed over to the police.”
I was given fake COVID test results on Nigerian flight at KIA – Traveler reveals LISTEN 1
A Ghanaian woman who travelled to Nigeria last Sunday has revealed she was given fake COVID-19 test results onboard a Nigerian flight at the Kotoka International Aiport.
According to Portia Kissi Adu, the airline (name withheld) officials insisted to do a new COVID-19 test for her since they do not recognise the one she had done at Noguchi.
Appearing desperate and seeking to beat time for an appointment in Lagos, Nigeria, Miss Kissi Adu said she agreed to undertake the COVID test the airline was insisting on and went ahead to receive the Mobile Money number they asked her to pay the cost of the test to. To her surprise, she was asked to get on board the flight only to be given a printed COVID test results with the letterhead of LEDING laboratory without any sample taken from her.
Kotoka International Airport’s Terminal 3
LEDing Medical Laboratory has refuted reports that it issued a fake COVID-19 test on a Ghanaian woman who travelled to Nigeria last Sunday.
This comes after one Portia Kissi Adu disclosed to Accra-based radio station Starr FM that some airport officials insisted she undertook a new COVID-19 test after it emerged they did not recognize an earlier one conducted at Noguchi.
But in a reaction to the reports, LEDing Medical Laboratory in a statement noted, it “never issued a COVID-19 test which is clearly demonstrated by the presence of a serial number on the fake test report that does not correspond to the authentic automated serial numbers (both in sequence and numbers) generated and used by LEDing Medical Laboratory in serving the general public”
