Presidency Orders Probe Of Security Breach At Calabar Airport
The National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Lt.-Gen. Aliyu Gusau, on Thursday ordered a probe into Wednesday’s security breach at Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar.
Capt. Shehu Iyal, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Aviation, gave the information at a press briefing at the State House, Abuja.
Our correspondent reports that a driver ventured onto the tarmac of the airport and rammed into an Abuja-bound Arik Aircraft.
“The Presidency through the office of the NSA has directed that detailed investigations be promptly carried out to unravel the circumstances and factors that led to the very unusual event,’’ Iyal said.
Iyal condemned the act, saying that requisite agencies and airport authorities had been summoned by the NSA for briefing.
“The Presidency is assuring that maximum penalty shall be meted out to concerned persons if any form of dereliction of duty is established as a causative factor in the very embarrassing incident,’’ he said.
He gave an assurance to Nigerian and foreign travellers that the security agencies were working round the clock to keep all airports safe and secured.
Iyal said the incident was a reminder that a lot needed to be done to improve security in the airport in line with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standard.
