Passenger assaults NCAA officer at Lagos Airport
A passenger has assaulted an officer of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, at the Lagos Airport.
The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection of NCAA, Michael Achimugu, made this known in a statement on Saturday.
Achimugu said the passenger, identified as Ibok Maurice Ibok, was captured assaulting the officer over an alleged missing luggage.
“Earlier today, one Mr. Ibok Maurice Ibok, a passenger whose bags did not arrive via his Royal Air Maroc flight (short-landed baggage) became very aggressive and threatened an NCAA Consumer Protection Officer in Lagos.
“The officer, a victim of an unjustified physical attack in the past, distanced himself from the passenger who continued to scream at the top of his voice. The CPO maintained that he could not attend to the passenger until he agreed to calm down.
“A staff of an aviation agency, allegedly an AGM, can be heard and seen lending voice to the passenger against the CPO, rather than de-escalate the situation,” he said.
Achimugu, following the incident, warned that no one has a right to attack NCAA personnel, no matter the provocation, stressing that they are not service providers and are only there to assist in resolving complaints and ensuring airlines compliance.
He further said that attacking them serves nobody any good purpose.
“The Authority’s legal department will take up a case against Mr. Ibok Maurice Ibok. The AGM will be reported to his managing director.
“Royal Air Maroc is one of the airlines against whom the NCAA has initiated enforcement actions. The Authority will therefore investigate today’s occurrences and take appropriate action based on its findings.
“The Honourable Minister of Aviation and the DG NCAA will not tolerate any assault on their staff. Passengers are urged to comply with Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. We remain committed to protecting the rights of all stakeholders,” he added.

Edo guber: Nigerian military expresses readiness for credible polls
The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has said that the military has the presidential mandate to ensure a free, fair and credible governorship election in Edo State.
Musa stated this on Wednesday in Benin during the various strategic meetings held with stakeholders, including troops of the Nigerian Army, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
The Chief of Defence Staff said he was in Edo to assure the electorate that the military would be professional and join INEC to ensure an election without violence and intimidation.
In a meeting with senior military officers, the army general said whoever tries to disrupt the poll would bear the consequences.
He warned individuals against carrying arms to intimidate the electorate, saying only the statutory security agencies would be allowed for the election.
“What I bring from Abuja is peace and assurance that we will act professionally during the election.
“Election must be free, fair and credible; for this implies that any other person with any other intention other than a peaceful election probably will face the consequences.
“I also want to reiterate, though the IGP has said it, that the armed forces will not accept any other individual carrying arms,” he said.
Musa warned members of the local security network or vigilantes to stay off the election duties, saying they are not part of the statutory agencies for election.
The Chief of Defence Staff also warned the personnel of the forces deployed for the election never to compromise.
According to him, any personnel that compromises will surely face the music.
At the meeting with the stakeholders, including INEC, police and other security agencies, Lt Gen Musa sought cooperation among the security agencies.
