A pregnant Ghanaian woman has reportedly been mistreated and mishandled by Emirates Airlines staff who then kicked her off a flight.
Ghanaian man Edward Opoku, who helplessly watched his wife go through the indignity of being kicked off a flight, narrated his ordeal via Twitter.
According to him, the incident occurred Saturday, February 26th 2022. Opoku narrated how they were travelling from Mauritius to Ghana through Dubai when the incident happened.
According to him, his 4-month old pregnant wife suffered morning sickness on the plane, at which point things started going sideways.
After she vomited, staff checked her and found her to be fine, but later said they would not move the plane with her onboard.
She was then unceremoniously kicked off the flight, which Opoku says embarrassed his wife and put the life of their unborn at risk.

Ok it’s morning @emirates.
Your staff legit disembarked my pregnant wife from her flight yesterday, embarrassing her and putting our child at risk with your shocking behavior and disrespect. We chose your airline to avoid this kind of nonsense.

Why was she told she would need to get an Emirates check-up and then abandoned?
Why was she told to leave because you didn’t have nausea medication (which she carries)?
Why was she told that that she had to leave because you didn’t have an extension belt? @EmiratesSupport

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and support so far with all of this.
Afia is doing fine; we’ll have a check-up later in the week just to confirm there’s nothing wrong with the baby, but all good.
