FAAN releases statement on MMIA incident, says man caught was attempting to stow away

Vigilant Aviation Security staff of the Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria, today, December 2, 2015, apprehended
a man, Mr. Alabibu Olushola, who was attempting to stow
away in a taxing aircraft on the tarmac of the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja.
The culprit was arrested as soon as he scaled the perimeter
fence near the moving aircraft and after interrogation by the
Avsec staff, he was immediately handed over to the police
for further interrogation.

The Authority wishes to remind members of the public that
access to restricted areas of the airport, including the
tarmac and perimeter roads, is prohibited for unauthorized
people, including airport staff, who have no business being
there. This is more so in view of the present security
situation in the country.

The Authority will henceforth not hesitate to arrest and
prosecute any person, including unauthorized airport staff,
who is found loitering around restricted areas of all our
airports.

General Manager, Corporate Affairs
