Dr Robert Sogbadji , a deputy director at the Ministry of Energy has narrated the ordeal he went through with Royal Air Maroc in attempt to return to Ghana from Egypt, after participating in in the just-ended Conference of Parties (COP27).
According to him, officials of the airline detained him for two days in a cubicle in Casablanca due to a delay in flight departure.
He tweeted “Royal Air Maroc asks me to pay for a flight to get me home, after they prevented me from going to Accra through delays. It’s a terrible service to passengers, especially from black Africa. No efforts to get me to Accra on time except for their airline which departs in 2 days.”
“Royal Air Maroc delays my flight to Accra from Cairo and has kept me in a cubicle in Casablanca with a new departure date in two days. I’ve no access to my luggage, no clothing and no items to freshen up. I’m living on burgers and fizzy drinks. The staff do not respect black Africans.”
He added “Royal Air Maroc puts me on a flight to depart in two days after delays in Cairo, hence, miss my flight to Accra. Treatment with no respect because of my ECOWAS passport. Transit service attendant threatened me. Oasis counter kept me waiting for 3 hours, while he went home.”
