The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, on Wednesday, said the Head of the Department of State Services (DSS) at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Safiyanu Abba, allegedly breached security protocols.
FAAN also claimed in a statement on Wednesday that the DSS boss had assaulted one of its officials, an aviation security personnel.
It also said the Abba had prevented the regular and mandatory security checks on a passenger on Friday.
The statement read, “We note with dismay that Mr. Safiyanu Abba, the Head of DSS at NAIA deliberately obstructed airport security process, and slapped an Aviation Security Officer who was performing his duty by calling on Mr Safiyanu Abba to desist from doing so.
“This happened on the 17th July at about 15:25 hours. He breached security procedure by obstructing further search of a visitor who had just walked through the metal detector and activated the alarm.
