FAAN Suspends Four Over Security Breach At Lagos Airport by Abdulazeez99: 7:11am On Jul 20, 2019
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has suspended four heads of aviation security unit who were on duty when an unidentified man climbed an Azman aircraft at the Lagos airport on Friday morning, Igbere TV reports.

FAAN’s general manager, public affairs, Henrietta Yakubu, confirmed the development in a statement obtained by Igbere TV on Friday.

Mrs Yakubu said the suspension of the personnel was pending the completion of ongoing investigation into the regrettable security infringement.

It was not clear how the intruder reached the plane or what his intention was, but a viral video of the incident showed panicked passengers who appeared eager to flee the plane.

“Following the unfortunate airside incursion at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on July 19, the authority has suspended indefinitely the aviation security unit heads.

“The personnel that were suspended were on duty when the incident occurred, pending completion of ongoing investigation into the regrettable security infringement.

“The affected officers are the Airport Chief of Security, Mamman Mohammed Sadiku and International Terminal Security Officer, Oni Abiodun.

“Others are the Head of Department Domestic Terminal 2, Kenneth Okezie and Head of Department Domestic Terminal 1, Adebowale Ayodele,” she said.

Yakubu said in the interim, a general manager, Dr Anne Enyinnaya-Egbadon, had been detailed to take charge of security at the airport.

She said other affected officers had also been replaced.

Yakubu said the current arrangement was aimed at ensuring an efficient and thorough investigation towards the recovery and sustenance of the airport’s proactive security integrity.

She added that FAAN viewed the breach as a serious security concern and had commenced investigation to ascertain the remote and immediate causes of that incident to forestall future occurrence.

I can't trust any sector in this country.
How does a man breech the so called security to make contact with a plane?How does this happen?
I guess it's the same way some people end up in the leadership positions they are in right now,like a turtle that finds itself on the top of a tree far from water.
I always hope that we can shun the usual Nigerian nonchalance and incompetence in very IMPORTANT and highly VISIBLE areas like the AIRPORT.Even if the Nigerians cannot say no to bribe and incompetence,can they at least try to secure the place properly?As per international airport?
I get so worried whenever I want to fly,wondering if these people did their jobs at all.A suicide bomber may have passed through after giving them 500naira.
This type of news makes me very nervous!
Suspending is a wack move.Not enough at all.

Where and when can we get one thing right?Just one thing!

Trust me it's easy to breach the security at Nigerian Airports. I've been chanced to work at one of the Nigerian Airports and usually notice how lax the security is sometimes. angry I just laugh and hope we don't have an incident one day. The only time they seem to be working is when their bosses are around or when there's an incident like the drug issue in Saudi and this particular one, then everyone sits up for a few weeks and return to status quo weeks later. It's more like a social welfare scheme for FAAN employing people to work as Airport security staff than people who are actually passionate to do their job properly. You will see people who have no business being security officials at a sensitive place like the Airport. The Airport is not your regular place where you can just put an aboki gateman to man the place. It needs very intelligent people. Mind you, it's almost the same situation everywhere in Nigeria not just FAAN.

NB: I actually deleted some critical info for security reasons.
