Eyewitnesses told SaharaReporters that the governor and his aides treated the airport security rules and procedures with disdain.
The Governor of Bayelsa State, Douya Diri, on Wednesday, violated the airport security procedures, particularly at airport security checkpoints at the Terminal 2 of the Murtala Muhammed Domestic Airport in Lagos.The governor had arrived at the airport for the inaugural flight of United Nigeria Airlines to Bayelsa International Airport.
“It’s sort of disappointing that a top-level government official is doing this and enabling his aides to do the same.“The airport security officers pleaded with the governor and his aides but that did not stop them from flying even though this is a basic rule in the aviation industry. It’s insane, this can only happen in Nigeria.”This is not the first time powerful Nigerians, especially politicians, would refuse to follow security procedures at airports in Nigeria.
