A yet-to-be-identified adult male passenger was on Friday carried off an Abuja to Lagos flight on Ibom Air, after declaring that President-elect, Bola Tinubu, must not be sworn in as President.
It was learnt that the man stood in the middle of the plane, shouting that Tinubu must never be sworn-in, stressing that there will be “war” if that happened.
The airport security authorities were called before he could be evacuated, after holding up the aircraft for more than an hour, as the 6pm flight was yet to move as of 7pm.
According to the video obtained, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) security men could be seen carrying the middle-aged man off the plane, as he kept shouting: “Obidients, you’re here. They are doing this to me. Obidients you’re here, I am naked. Obidients you’re here, I am going naked.”
Tinubu, 71, was declared winner of a controversial Feb 25 election. His victory is being contested in courts by his opponents. Nigeria swears-in its Presidents and Governors on May 29.
