The movie star, known for her roles in numerous Nigerian films, took to social media to share her ordeal, stating that she and other passengers had been waiting since 7 am, and by 4 pm, there was still no resolution from the airline.
Passengers Left in Limbo
In a video posted on Instagram, Akindele highlighted the lack of communication and nonchalant attitude from Air Peace officials.

The airline initially promised to retrieve their luggage and provide hotel accommodations, but hours passed without any action or updates.
Elderly Passengers Affected

Some questioned why people continue to patronize the airline despite recurring complaints.
