Kenya Airways confirmed in the statement that Ms. Omisore was traveling from Lagos to Nairobi, Paris, and Manchester. But the airline said on arrival in Nairobi for her connecting flight (Nairobi-Paris), it was discovered that she did not have a SCHENGEN Visa, which is a requirement for her to enter any European Union country.
