According to Daily Mail, the flight was slightly delayed after the scheduled pilot went sick, and a replacement had to be quickly arranged.
It was gathered that the duo was welcomed into the country by some Nigerians officials when they arrived just before 5 am, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
Afterward, they were taken out of a side door onto the jetty, and into a waiting blacked-out minibus.

“They will be tired after their journey, so they will rest and then the first engagement is at midday at the Defence Headquarters,” defence spokesperson Brigadier General Tukur Gusau told the Daily Mail.
“After that, they will travel to Kaduna to meet wounded soldiers at a military hospital there before returning to Abuja for other engagements.”
This is the first time the couple would visit Nigeria together.
