VIGILANT aviation security staff of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, on Wednesday, December 2, apprehended one Alabibu Olushola, a man who was attempting to stow away in a taxing aircraft on the tarmac of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos State.

Olushola was arrested as soon as he scaled the perimeter fence near the moving aircraft and after interrogation by the aviation security staff, he was immediately handed over to the police for further investigation.

Yakubu Dati, general manager, corporate affairs, who disclosed the incident, reminded members of the public against venturing into restricted areas of the airport, including the tarmac and perimeter roads. Dati also called attention of airport staff, who had no business in the areas to keep away. He said this had become necessary in view of the present security situation in the country.

“The authority will, henceforth, not hesitate to arrest and prosecute any person, including unauthorised airport staff, who is found loitering around restricted areas of all our airports,” he said.
