A 25-year-old man was arrested by FAAN & Nigerian Air Force officials yesterday at the Benin Airport.
The man identified as Leroy Ugaga was nabbed when he attempted to gain access to the Benin airport air area on Monday.
“The trespasser was sighted and observed for a few minutes by members of the patrol team as he tried to gain entry to the flight area and as soon as his intentions became clear to them, he was swiftly apprehended and handed over to the Police for further interrogation,” said Yakubu Dati, FAAN’s image maker.
Dati said a joint perimeter patrol by FAAN’s security staff and men of Nigerian Air force at the Benin Airport is one of the additional security measures taken by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to forestall runway incursions at all Nigerian airports.
“The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria hereby appeals to all members of the public, especially youths, to avoid the risk of attempting to gain unauthorised entry into restricted areas of airports, across the country, as doing is now extremely dangerous,” Dati said, adding that trespassers are likely to be severely dealt with if the security patrols have cause to suspect violent intentions.
He did not say what violent intention did the suspect had nor did he disclose whether the suspect was targeting a specific plane at the time.
Reports claim Leroy might be trying to attempt what Daniel did 9 days ago at the same airport.
