DETERMINED to rid the Murtala Muhammed Airport of criminals and miscreants, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has raided the Joint Users Hydrant Installation (JUHI) canal located at the international wing of the Airport.
The raid led to the arrest of five miscreants whose presence have been a threat to the facility.
FAAN said the miscreants have turned the Hydrant at the airport into a potential hideout for their activities, erecting some shanties near the NAHCO Bridge along the international airport.
The director of Public Affairs and consumer protection of the Authority, Mrs Obiageli Orah, disclosed this in a statement made available to Sunday Tribune.
Obiageli said, those arrested have since been handed over to the Aviation Security Crime Investigation and Intelligence Unit (CIIU) for further interrogation and necessary action.
According to Obiageli Orah: “The Joint Monitoring Task Force (JMTF) of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Friday, January 12, 2024, mobilised and carried out a raid of the Joint User Hydrant Installation (JUHI) Canal and the International Access Road Bridge at about 4:38 p.m. The exercise yielded the arrest of five suspects.”
While using the opportunity to caution the general public against any encroachment in the airport environment, FAAN added that anyone who has no business at the airport should please stay away.
“The Authority shall deal with anyone caught carrying out any act of vandalism or touting at the airports,” Obiageli said in the statement.
