The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has reported
another breach of its security protocol at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International
Airport, Abuja.
This time it involved the head of the Department of State
Services(DSS) at the airport, Safiyanu Abba.
According to FAAN, Abba not only breached the security
procedure at the airport, he also slapped a security officer, who wanted to
ensure compliance.
“We note with dismay that Mr Safiyanu Abba, the Head of DSS
at NAIA deliberately obstructed airport Security process, and slapped an
Aviation Security Officer”, FAAN tweeted on Wednesday.
FAAN said the assaulted officer was performing his duty by
calling on Mr Safiyanu Abba to desist from doing so.
“This happened on the 17th July at about 15:25 hours. He
breached security procedure by obstructing further searching of a visitor who
had just walked through the metal detector and activated the alarm.
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria strongly condemns
this abuse of power and the Security process in our airport. This has also been
duly escalated.
“FAAN committed to our core values of safety Security and
comfort”.
FAAN had similarly reported such breaches in recent days.
On 16 July, FAAN blew the whistle on Governor Ahmadu Umaru
Fintiri of Adamawa state, who arrived Port Harcourt international Airport
aboard aircraft 5N-IZY, at 17:08 hrs on 14th July 2020, along with an entourage
of eight.
All of them refused to comply with the COVID-19 protocol and
security procedure.
FAAN said they flagrantly refused to have their temperature
checked, or being sanitised by the health officials.
“His whole entourage of 8 did exactly as he did. The team
that came to receive them drove right through the barricades up to the terminal
building ignoring traffic and Aviation Security instructions”, FAAN said.
FAAN also recently reported former Governor Abdulaziz Yari
for refusing to allow his luggage decontaminated.
However, none of the infractions degenerated into an assault
like Safiyanu Abba’s.
