Two sisters, 31 and 23 who missed a NG Eagle flight at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja ,due to late arrival have engaged in a serious fight which led to the passing out of the one aged 31.
According to Micheal Achimugu, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, who disclosed this on his X account, the ladies scattered their luggage before being taken to the interrogation office by the airport security.
According to him, the lady who fainted was taken to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) clinic for medical attention where another fight started.
Achimugu said they were taken back to the interrogation office where the fight continued.As a result of this, they were handed over to the Police.
The NCAA Spokesperson who described the occurrence as a strange incident emphasised the danger that would have transpired if it happened onboard.
“The strangest thing just happened at the Abuja airport. Two sisters, both adults, booked to travel via a NG EAGLE flight. They missed the flight because they were late. Perhaps one of them blamed her sibling for their missing flight (not sure), but these two siblings began to fight each other. They scattered luggage and other items before being dragged to the interrogation office by airport security.
“Inside, they began to fight again until one of them fainted. Calls were made for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, but her sister said that the problem is more spiritual than medical and, therefore, did not need a hospital. She is presently receiving attention at the FAAN clinic. This is not how things should be.
“On arrival at the FAAN clinic, the elder sister, aged 31, who fainted earlier, began to fight with her younger sister, aged 23. They were both brought back to the crime office for a resolution, but the fierce fighting continued. The police were invited, and both sisters were led away by officers of the Nigeria Police.
“This is one strange incident. I am hoping that it is just a case of temper tantrums. If these ladies had been on that flight and started to fight on board the aircraft, it would have been disastrous.”
A passenger, Kazeem Sunmonu who witnessed the incident , confirmed that the ladies were extremely violent.
“Even when the Aviation Security (AVSEC) tried calming the initiator down , rather , she even turned more violent stripping herself naked and even scattering their boxes. I must commend the staffs and AVSEC for a job well done.”
