The NAF Public Relations Officer, Sqn. Ldr. Joel Abioye, made the disclosure to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ikeja, Lagos
He said that investigation was being carried out by both NAF and FAAN to ascertain what really happened.
“From what I was told, the FAAN staff, one Mohammed Shuaibu, parked in a wrong place at the airport and was instructed to move his vehicle to a designated car park.
“But he refused claiming that he was a staff of FAAN. He should have known better considering the security challenges in the country.
“Shuaibu confronted our men, struggled with them and acted violently, claiming that he was a FAAN staff and as you know the NAF is a disciplined force that will not allow any form of indiscipline,’’ he said.
Abioye emphasised that the alleged beating would be thoroughly investigated, adding that NAF officers were disciplined individuals. “Our men at the airport are being summoned to determine what happened,’’
“The alleged beating will be investigated and if they are found culpable, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against them.
“In NAF, we don’t condone any act of indiscipline,’’ Abioye said. NAN reports that the FAAN official was allegedly beaten by NAF officers in charge of traffic at the departure section of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos on Monday. It was also alleged that Shuaibu, who parked in a wrong parking space, had an argument with the NAF officers which led to the alleged beating. (NAN)
