Yesterday, Air France deboarded an unruly passenger at the Abuja International Airport. His disruptive behaviour in the aircraft was a safety risk for other passengers.

Since he did not possess a Nigerian visa, he was not allowed into Abuja. Being a French national, he was visited by staff of the French Embassy and a doctor and then granted accommodation in the hotel within the airport terminal.

Later, British Airways deboarded him due to the same unruly behaviour he had put up aboard Air France.

Today, he was supposed to depart via Asky but could not present evidence of payment for the e-'ticket' he presented. The airline declined to airlift him.

Immigration officials had quite a hectic time handling the erratic passenger who can be seen littering our clean terminal with what seems to be tissue paper and screaming, "My passport, my passport."

Apparently, the Immigration officers wanted to ensure that he boarded his flight before handing the passenger his international passport to prevent him from escaping through the exit gate and into the city.

NCAA Consumer Protection regional head, Miriam Anosike, understanding the security, safety, and diplomatic ramifications of the case, addressed Air France personnel sternly, reminding them that they brought the passenger to Nigeria and must be responsible for airlifting him out of Nigeria as he is becoming a liability to the country.

"If you are afraid to airlift him, why do you expect other airlines to be responsible for him? Get him a ticket and move him tomorrow!"

I salute Miriam, whose years of experience as CPO came in handy. Tomorrow night, we will monitor Air France operations to ensure that the passenger is safely airlifted.

Kudos to the men of the NIS who also kept their cool all through.

Pardon me. He wasn’t transiting. His flight had a stop in Nigeria. He wasn't to deplane. In any case, he is entirely the responsibility of Air france.

Even more

Good for him.

So with all the useless mopol and soldiers there no one could grab the tiny guy and tied him like a goat? Look at the useless bribe taking immigration officers looking like zombie but if na their fellow Nigerians dey will have muscle to rough handle him or her.

Can any Nigerian try half of this in France? I guess no.
I am so pissed watching the video.

What’s your best international flight?

It's well.
Let's be Well Behaved

how did he get to Nigeria without a visa?

This one fit go fight pilot oo

As a Nigerian, how do you feel that a first world National is being checkmated for his unruly and disruptive behavior in Nigeria?

Never knew we sef get respect for our country.


Imagine if he had escaped into Nigeria and will start causing nuisance here

GooD
Zero Lawlessness in 2025
Hand him over to the U.S police they know what to do with such people 🤣🤣.
They are trained to handle entitled kids of diaspora. Nonsense

Manifestations of Oppositional Defiant disorder which has metamorphosed into a conduct disorder. Too much pampering.

OMG!!! Don't know why I find this very funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂

He is mentally unbalanced simple.


His Nigerian village pple are working on pro-max.

The guy is on coke

Wahala

Hmm
The guy needs medical attention/professional help.

BigDawsNet:

Lufthansa

Thank God he's not from Nigeria. People would have accused village people or that Nigeria happened to him.

May he find divine help

Them dn carry mad man enter 9ja

Midehi3:
Lufthansa

Any particular reasons

There is an injection that they can give this guy and he will be sober for one whole week even if his ticket is to fly round the whole world. How can one passenger be bigger than two airlines and the entire airport authority in Nigeria.

The passenger is a psychiatric case.

He needs mental evaluation before boarding any flight. Nigeria government needs to stabilise him before boarding any flight.

If it was a Nigerian, they would have bundled him mercilessly.

This reminds me of that rabid, uncultured Obidient guy during the last election. Where's the mad man now?

He no normal

That guy doesn't look sane.

Tie him like a goat as they do helpless Nigerians?

The person in question is not Nigerian but a French national...that is the difference and his French Passport protects him.

The French government through their Embassy in Abuja, even provided him with a Doctor.

He's already becoming a threat and should have been treated so.
He should have been overpowered and restricted to a spot until he's boarded.
