Two passengers on an Abuja-bound Med-View Airline flight were, on Wednesday, arrested by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria’s (FAAN) security personnel for attempting to steal N1.5 million from the hand luggage compartment of the aircraft.
The flight, which was scheduled to depart the Murtala Mohammed Airport 2 (MMA2) for Abuja at 9.00a.m., was delayed as a result of the incident.
FAAN aviation security personnel’s attention was called to the said aircraft by the cabin crew when an argument ensued between two passengers over missing money from the luggage of one of the passengers who raised the alarm.
Two of the passengers, who were suspected by the one who raised the alarm were later subjected to search and substantial amount of money was found on them.
The duo were later taken away and are undergoing preliminary interrogation at the FAAN’s Crime Investigation Bureau, from where they would be taken to the police for further investigation.
FAAN, however, assured the public "especially passengers, that people engaged in nefarious activities at our airports will no longer find life comfortable, as adequate security measures have been put in place to make our airports safer and more secure."
