Seurity agents of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), have apprehended a staff of Arik airline for seeking bribe from a passenger at the general aviation terminal in Lagos.
Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, General Manager, Corporate Affairs of FAAN confirmed the development in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday.
FAAN had warned that bribe seeking airport officials will be barred from airports across the country if caught.
FAAN was compelled to summon an emergency meeting to address increasing reports of indiscipline and corruption among airport officials.
Yakubu confirmed that the on-duty card of the erring staff, a lady whose name was not revealed was withdrawn immediately, and she has been handed over to the relevant security agency for appropriate action in order to serve as deterrent to other bad eggs in the airport.
“Officials were also directed to always wear conspicuous name tags anytime they are on duty.
“Airport managers have been directed to ensure that all stakeholders at the airports are properly sensitised on the new development as there will be no sacred cows.”
Yakubu stated.
