The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria has revealed how leader of the Department of State Services at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Safiyanu Abba, deliberately obstructed security process and slapped an officer of Aviation Security.
FAAN in a tweet on Wednesday accused Abba of breaching the security procedure by obstructing the thorough searching of a visitor, who was said to have walked through the metal detector, forcing the alarm to go off.
The incident reportedly happened on Wednesday July 17, 2020 at about 3:25pm at the international terminal of the airport.
FAAN in a post on Twitter said, “We note with dismay that Mr Safiyanu Abba, Head of DSS at NAIA deliberately obstructed airport security process and slapped an Aviation Security Officer who was performing his duty by calling on Mr Safiyanu Abba to desist from doing so.
