Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has shut down KFC outlet at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos after its manager denied a customer entry because of his Disability
The customer, Debola Daniel, son of former Ogun state Governor, Sen. Gbenga Daniel, was denied entry into the branch by a manager due to their, “No wheelchair allowed” policy.
According to him, the refusal occurred as he, along with four companions, his wife and brothers attempted to dine at the outlet. Despite being recognised by the security staff, they were abruptly informed by the restaurant’s manager that wheelchairs were not permitted inside.
This directive left Debola and his group in disbelief and sparked a confrontation with the staff.
FAAN said the decision was in line with Lagos State law on People with Special Needs, Part C, section 55 of General Provisions on Discrimination which states that, “A person shall not deprive another person of access to any place, vehicle or facility that members of the public are entitled to enter or use on the basis of the disability of that person.”
