A middle-aged man was on Wednesday arrested after breaching security at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos, and attempted to attack a Med-View aircraft that was about to take-off to Maiduguri en route Abuja Airport.<\/p>\n
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) learnt that the suspect, Alabibu Olushola, was arrested after the captain of the airline attacked him using jet blast from the aircraft.<\/p>\n
The attack by the captain was as a result of his attempt to gain access to the aircraft which was waiting on the threshold of the Runway 18 of the airport for take-off.<\/p>\n
A reliable aviation security personal who spoke anonymously with a NAN correspondent, said the airline had just left MMA2 terminal for take-off at about 12.30 p.m. when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n
“The captain of the aircraft suddenly discovered that someone was moving closer to his aircraft even as passengers who were observing the unusual movement raised the alarm.<\/p>\n
“However, the captain who had alerted the control tower had to move forward to stop the suspect from getting near the aircraft.<\/p>\n
“When he realised that the suspect was running after the moving aircraft, he attacked him with jet blast which caused the suspect to fall down on the runway.<\/p>\n
