An Air France plane heading to Paris from Mauritius made an emergency landing at the Moi International Airport early Sunday over bomb scare.
The Boeing 777 with 459 passengers and 14 crew members on board requested the airport’s Mombasa Towers for emergency landing after a passenger noticed a suspicious device in the lavatory and informed the Captain.
According to an update on Inspector General Joseph Boinnet’s Twitter page, the plane landed safety at the airport a few minutes past midnight where the passengers were safely evacuated.
Bomb experts from the Navy and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have taken away the device to determine whether its components contained explosives.
