Man Flies From JFK To LA With Fake ID, Expired Boarding Pass

A Nigerian man managed to board a Los Angeles-bound flight at JFK Airport without a valid boarding pass or valid identification. Olajide Olwaseun Noibi used a fake ID and an expired boarding pass to get onto Virgin America Flight 415.

WCBS 2 reports, "The FBI says Noibi sat in the main cabin and when a flight attendant asked him to show his boarding pass, he produced the expired pass. Noibi was still allowed to get off the plane when it landed in Los Angeles." Great! And how did Noibi get the pass? ABC News explains:

On that pass was the name of a man with the initials M.D. After tracking down and interviewing him, the FBI learned that M.D. had lost his home-printed boarding pass from his back pocket, which had been folded into fourths, once he arrived at JFK via subway Friday. Once he discovered it missing, he obtained a new boarding pass from a ticket kiosk and boarded flight 413.

On flight 415 Saturday -- the day after M.D.'s flight had already taken off -- a similarly folded home-printed boarding pass with M.D.'s name on it was found on Noibi.

Noibi was arrested yesterday in Wednesday when he tried to board a Delta flight from LA to NYC under the same MO. Authorities found 10 other expired boarding passes. A federal agent wrote in his report, "Noibi [while at LAX] claimed he was able to go through passenger screening by obtaining a seat pass and displaying his University of Michigan identification and a police report that his passport had been stolen."

@Obowunmi: Am so sorry there is a big deal in this, This is a big disgrace to the repuation of our country that is already in the mud and it is a serious embarrasment to millions of honest Nigerians that work hard and still have moral values.

Obowunmi: There is a big deal to this , by the time that spends the rest of his life behind the cell he will understand what he has gotten himself into.

Obowunmi: Once again I insist there is big deal in this, It is so sad that in a country whereby we are blessed with so much wealth we have lost our sense of cultural upbringing and today , Yahoo Yahoo! Boko Haram! Mend! Corruption! is the main thing ,

When people ask you where you are from and you can't proudly say you are from Nigeria, Obowunmi that is when you will realize that there is a big deal in Nigerians creating a bad reputation for themselves within the country and beyond.

Very disgusting situation!!

i went to the hospital yesterday for a dr.'s appointment. My doctor asked me the origin of my long a S S first name and i proudly said Nigeria. The first thing the oyinbo said was "Hope you are not the one sending me the constant emails, cause your name looks familiar. To hide my anger, i had to laugh really hard, but all i really wanted to do was smash his head on the table. But when u think of it, its not his fault!

Finland:
There is no big deal jare. make una shut up!. .Show any country in this world that has an empty prison. Criminal-ism is not only in Nigeria it is everywhere and this kinda things happens everytime in the u.s but when the culprit is a Nigerian it makes an headline. Rubbish!!!

You can tell the American media is so biased and rinks of racism. If this guy is an American Citizen like the story says, why do they have to mention he was Nigerian?? I mean, he is American, period! If it were a white man from UK with American citizenship, i guarantee u they would not say an American citizen from britain, Why? because they believe they have more in common with the briton and they view him as "their own", Not one black man from the doomed continent Africa!
