Crime › Ex-senator’s Wife Breaches Airport Security, Escorts Husband To Aircraft by etunoman76(op): 1:35pm On May 30

Footage posted on the social media account of Patience Abbo, wife of former Adamawa North senator, Ishaku Abbo, has exposed a breach of airport security protocols after she gained access to a restricted operational area to escort her husband to the foot of a waiting aircraft.

In the video, believed to have been recorded at the Yola Airport, based on visible terminal markings, Mrs Abbo is seen walking across the apron near the aircraft staircase. She is captured exchanging a black phone case with her husband, embracing him in a farewell gesture, and then turning back as he boarded the plane.

The footage also shows the interaction being recorded from within the restricted area by a third party, raising further questions about who had access to the operational zone at the time.

The video, which remained publicly accessible on her account at the time of filing this report, sparked concerns about the enforcement of Nigeria’s aviation security regulations.

Aviation security globally is governed by strict standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Under ICAO Annex 17, member states are required to establish stringent measures “to prevent unauthorised access to aircraft, restricted airport areas and other sensitive operational zones.”

Nigeria domesticates these standards through the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs) Part 17 on Aviation Security.

The regulations define the airport “airside” as “the movement area of an airport, adjacent terrain and buildings or portions thereof, access to which is controlled.”

Under the Nig.CARs Part 17.50 series, aerodrome operators are legally required to implement strict access control measures to prevent unauthorised access to aircraft and to closely supervise all activities around aircraft operations.

Access beyond security screening points to the ramp or aircraft is strictly restricted to screened passengers with valid boarding passes, accredited airline crew, and airport personnel wearing visible On-Duty Cards (ODCs). While regulations make provision for an “escort,” this is strictly defined as authorised security accompaniment for cleared personnel. It does not extend to casual tarmac farewells by non-travelling family members.

Airport security officials interviewed by PREMIUM TIMES at Sokoto Airport said only screened travellers and authorised personnel are permitted access to restricted airside areas.

Abubakar Manir, officer-in-charge of the Crime, Intelligence and Investigation Unit of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in Sokoto, told this reporter that high-profile individuals are not exempt from core safety procedures.

“Everyone is subject to screening. The Sultan – even if the Sultan comes here, he must pass through the screening points,” Mr Manir said.

He noted that while certain top-tier VIPs, such as governors, ministers, and first-class traditional rulers, are traditionally afforded protocol aides, regular lawmakers often travel without large entourages.

More importantly, he stressed that no protocol privilege permits a non-travelling spouse to bypass terminal gates onto the aircraft movement area.

“Nobody is allowed to access the ramp. Nobody is allowed to go beyond these screening points unless you are a traveller,” another terminal security officer said. “As far as the rules are concerned, there is no escort beyond the screening point.”

Beyond the regulatory breach, security experts warn that the presence of untrained civilians on the airport apron poses serious operational risks.

Mr Manir disclosed the dangers of influential figures converging on operational airfields.

“There are a lot of risks associated, especially for those who are not travelling… Some aircraft have propeller engines. Once they start the engine, a civilian might not know the safety procedure. If you are too close, the jet blast or propeller can hit you,” he warned

The video has reignited public debate about the selective enforcement of airport rules in Nigeria. While ordinary citizens are routinely stopped at terminal glass doors and prevented from walking relatives to boarding gates, political elites and their families frequently enjoy unhindered access to aircraft steps through informal “VIP protocol” arrangements.

The incident raises serious questions for FAAN about how a non-travelling civilian and an accompanying videographer gained access to the restricted tarmac, and whether airport security personnel on duty compromised established safety protocols.

Responses still expected
Mr Abbo did not answer multiple calls to his official line.

Similarly, inquiries made through the official channels of the Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development and FAAN headquarters yielded no immediate response, with officials stating that responses were being processed.

Crime › Re: How Informants Helped Oyo Kidnappers During, After Operation – Police by etunoman76(m): 2:06pm On May 19

I keep asking these same questions. How can the terrorists abduct several people and move them around without being noticed? What sort of GSM communication or gadgets do they use to make their demands that can't be traced? How are these ransom delivered that they can't be traced?

An innocent man slaughtered like chicken just because he is a Nigerian?

We have had insecurity issues for some time but since Buhari's administration, these have been allowed to fester without care. You allowed impunity, others would commit same crime even in greater magnitude cos at the end, just like the others, no serious action by the authority.

I knew we were in serious trouble when an army general was killed and 'nothing' happened. Just the usual rhetoric.

The teacher that was slaughtered was someone's son, father, husband, brother, uncle, friend.

bewisemasses:
One issue I have with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that he prioritizes politics over governance. He has displayed that many times.

Last night, I watched Governor Seyi Makinde's press conference after a security meeting with service commanders and heads of security agencies in the state on the Friday morning kidnapping incident in Oriire LG of Oyo State.

He confirmed one killed, seven teachers, and an unknown number of students abducted.

We are talking about young children. I couldn't stand watching the video of the elderly people crying, begging for their relatives’ release.

This morning made it the third day since the incident occurred, and nothing from the Presidency yet. Not even a statement.

Even the President's spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, chose to repost a political article ‘Seyi and his 2027 gamble’ yesterday. Agbalagba toh sey lagba lagba.

Instead of the president visiting, or inviting GSM to Abuja for a briefing, he chose to host Otunba Gbenga Daniel last night over Ogun state politics.

I'm not sorry to say: We don't have a sensitive, empathetic, and responsive leader and these are important qualities of a good leader!

Yes, every sensible Nigerian knows that the new wave of insecurity especially in the Northern Nigeria has political undertone where politicians are using the poor masses to count political scores so as to demonise each other.

And why can't the government through the security agencies go after these people. It is not logical at all.

How can you campaign and win an election on a political platform and because of whatever selfish interests you decide to decamp to another party. Both the ruling and opposition parties are guilty of this. What happens to the electorate that voted based on party line? Should they also be forced to decamp? I won't be surprised if another party comes to power and you see most of these same politicians jumping ship

Was it not the same party that was in power during Buhari's administration and even had President Tinubu as the National Leader? Does it mean APC, as a party, has no blue print for economic growth? I guess it means when President Tinubu leaves office and peradventure, another APC man comes on board as the president, then we will start from the scratch, again?

emkz:
Yes.

For many years, we have been living in a bubble. We subsidized the consumption by the rich. Our refineries have not been producing. There was pervasive insecurity. Oil theft was rife. Chinese were stealing from us. We started handing out dollars to people for reasons that don't make sense. The subsidy was consistently being abused by people who claimed it and still took the products across the borders. Local fuel consumption was inflated. There were no investments in critical infrastructure. Questionable billionaires emerged following the start of the 4th republic. The bought banks and no one knows the source of their incomes. Industries completely collapsed and religion became rife.

Infact, we started borrowing to pay salaries and subsidies. People like Professor Usman Yusuf in NHIS used their positions to rob the nation. Today, they are sudden moralists for a better Nigeria.

What Tinubu is doing is an attempt to refocus things so that the pains will not be even more in the future. Tinubu demonstrates the boldness many before him lacked. We can see some improvements in certain areas. For example, after the kidnap of the Nabeeha family and the killing of Nabeeha herself, we can see how Wike and Co swung into action and have arrested the masterminds. Our military chiefs are not talking too much and are doing the job.

I recall when they started partitioning roads in Lagos for BRT. As soon as the buses were rolled out, no one criticized Tinubu again. So the suffering we are currently facing are pains that will pass.

We only call on Tinubu to go after the sponsors of terrorism, banditry and rogue businessmen inflating prices. We also call on governors to show workings. It is evil for PDP governors to be attacking the president when they should be worried and working harder for their people.

As a people, let us put the same pressure on the governors, representatives and senators as we put on the president.

If the elections hold again, I'd still throw my weight behind Tinubu. Atiku had his time, and he had nothing to show for it beyond plundering national assets to cronies. He is one of the architects of the current mess and should take responsibility. He also lacks understanding of presidential processes. Peter Obi is just a revolt against the status quo and people conveniently forgot he was a governor as well and Anambra did not improve.

Any sincere Nigerian would make suggestions to help the nation.

My question here is that is it not the same APC party that had Buhari as president. During the time of Buhari we were told to be patient after they spent the first 4 years blaming the Jonathan administration for everything. We are suppose to be consolidating on the gains, if there was any, of the past administration of the same party, and not for a worsening situation like we are having at the moment.

It is rather disheartening that some people are attacking the news to be fake, but in the same breath calling out some people/groups to be the perpetrators of the fake news. If you can't prove your claim, then it simply means you are also guilty.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why We Sacked Winners Pastors - Oyedepo Breaks Silence by etunoman76(m): 3:48pm On Jul 22, 2021

It is good to go out there and win souls, but what exactly is being done to 'keep' them if they are eventually won? I have worked closely with the pastorate of one of the well established assemblies of LFC in Abuja and I know what transpires.
Some members here make their assumptions based on what they see from afar or what they hear. But it goes beyond all that.
The population of a church shouldn't be used as the yardstick to judge its growth but the nos of souls actually saved. If you have so many churches in a locality and the vices there are not reflecting it, then there's an underlying issue(s).
The Follow Up unit in LFC used to be quite effective, but not anymore, at least in my assembly. I think the church is more interested in the nos of first timers that come for every Sunday service than the ones that are genuinely saved.

As for the income part, there's more to it, but what I'd state here for now is that whatever the local assembly generates, small part of it is retained to cater for it while most of it is transferred to the national headquarters. On this, there have been murmurings, but no senior pastor, I am aware of, has openly kicked against it. If you know how much is retained you'd feel sorry for some of these local assemblies. And you are on your own if it runs out before the end of that particular month and I have seen it happen severally. Even accommodation for the pastors, apart from the senior, is a huge wahala on its own.

Crime › Re: Police Killed My Sister A Day Before Her NYSC Passing Out - Lady To Panel by etunoman76(m): 1:33pm On Nov 06, 2020

Skyfornia:
Sad story...I have noticed that many of the victims of police brutality seem to be Igbos.

Also I believe that some of these incidents could have been avoided if the victims obeyed the police. Please whenever you are stopped by police, kindly obey every instructions from them..no need arguing and claiming you know your right, some of these police men are always high and scared too..don't go and waste your life arguing with a trigger happy policeman.

I quite agree on some police men being high sometimes, especially at night. 2 years ago, my wife and I stopped at the junction of the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Airport Road, Jabi, to ask some policemen in their patrol van direction to the place. My car internal light was lit to show that it was just me and my wife in the car, I had just greeted the officers and was about to ask for direction after the officer closest to us had responded, only for one policeman in the dark to jump to my wife's side of the car with gun cocked and I am still pretty sure his finger was already on the trigger. "Yes, Oga wetin you want?" The expression on his face was of a drunk with glazed eyes and he was swaying from side to side with gun pointed at us. It was his colleague that was attending to us that quickly told him to calm down that he was already attending to us.

It was after we got home from the hospital that night, where we went to see a friend's wife that put to bed and needed our attention, that the seriousness of the incident hit me. It is better imagined what that sort of officer was capable of doing if any of us in the car had made any move that seemed threatening to him in his state of mind at that time.

Esseite:
Criminals and fraudsters complain of bad governance being the reason things are wrong or why they chose their various evil paths... I tell you, its laziness and quick wealth mentality. Even if we have the best of governance today, they cant fit into the workings of the society, their CV's are relegated, they have no skills or even know how to run a business. Their expense is so bloated that it needs a multimillion naira business to fund it.

So it's not necessarily bad Governance, it's an individual thing.

They have created so much bad name for Nigeria internationally and now even in Africa. Now at the mention you are a Nigerian, your bags are searched twice, your passport is given special security checks, you are vetted like a caveman, your purpose of visit is re-confirmed while you are placed under security watch. Meanwhile someone from Djibouti just strolls unbothered..

Is that life?

So our response:
- it's his life
- it's not my business
- he is my friend
- it's the economy..

The world sees us as same and equal, if one finger touches oil, it spreads amongst the rest.

I agree with you cos even those that eventually make it to better environment with good governance, like Italy, USA, Canada etc, still indulge in all sorts of crime

If God were to say that only those that didn't hear about the following words (COZA, krest, Fatoyinbo and Busola) today in Nigeria would make heaven. I guess we all are stuck.
This scandal whether it's true or not has further reminded parents of the role of friendship they should play in their children's lives so that these children will see you as a friend and be able to tell you whatsoever going on in their life. Imagine this story is coming up after 15 years.
Hey! you reading this now watch out, that paedophile might be the neighbour next door. Let's always be alert to little little signs we think don't matter. Eg.
1. You see those uncles always calling small small girls 'my wife' watch them closely I repeat closely they are not far from being suspects.
2. When your girl child is not comfortable with a particular person or her mood changes immediately you bring up any topic about the person or she frequently voices out her dislike for that person don't force her to like the dude you might be hurting her without knowing, try and talk with her to ascertain if there's more to it than meets the eye.
Finally, never hush your child or tell them to shut up just hear them out even if what they are saying is sounding gibberish to you. I'm sure you've heard the saying that there's some sort of sense in nonsense and when they tell you about a sensitive issue always do something about it you're their guardian angel if you don't know.
#Saynotorape

I'd say this is one of the most thought provoking comments I have read on the ongoing rape saga, so far. Thank you for this. I have two very young children and it would be heartrending if they are taken advantage of.
