On Tuesday, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) engaged in a verbal brawl on social media.

The debate erupted when FAAN accused the NCS of a security breach at Lagos' Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA).

According to FAAN's official, Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, the Customs Area Comptroller for Hajj and Cargo Terminal at the Lagos Airport and one Agunbiade, a customs officer on the Comptroller's entourage, manhandled Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel on duty at Gate 3 of the airport's Security Restricted Area (SRA).

Yakubu said that AVSEC officials on day duty at Gate 3 were profiling a Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) vehicle attempting to enter the Security Restricted Area at Gate 3 when the Customs Area Comptroller appeared and pulled off behind the NAHCO vehicle being attended to.

She said that Agunbiade, the accused customs officer, was in the Area Comptroller's entourage and forced the AVSEC officer aside at the entrance.

Yakubu said that Customs personnel took over gate 3 and unlocked it for the Comptroller and his companions to enter the Security Restricted Area via gate 3.
