The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority NCAA has confirmed legal action against an unnamed female passenger who obstructed an Abuja-bound Ibom Air flight, vowing she will face the full extent of the law.
The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Micheal Achimugu, on Monday, told newsmen that the irate passenger had been handed over to the police and also charged to Court.
In line with the regulations, Achimugu confirmed that the passenger would be prosecuted, adding, “The NCAA continues to educate stakeholders about unruly behaviour and the penalties it attracts.”
He said, “The regulations state firmly that no provocation justifies violence at the airport. Certain acts, especially holding up the movement of an aircraft through means of violence, could be interpreted as terrorism depending on the severity (to be determined by the police).
