#SomeoneTellFly540 is the trending topic on Twitter today and the Kenyans are not a happy lot.
In an article from Nairobi News today, Bishop Jackson Kosgei of Worldwide Gospel Church of Kenya claims that he was forced to crawl from the plane of local airline Fly540. This was after attendants claimed that “they do not carry people who cannot physically support themselves.”
KOT took to the Twitter streets and decried the inhuman treatment given to the bishop by the airline.
Led by the Bishop’s daughter, better known as Singer Emmy Kosgei, they made their displeasure clear and even demanded an apology from the management.
Here are the tweets
