Security operatives seize Davido’s Luggage at int’I Airport, Lagos

Security operatives attached to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos have seized 17 check-in luggage of the Nigerian musician, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido for the unruly behaviours of his aid who beat up airport security officials.
Problem was said to have started for the musician who arrived from a trip aboard Emirates Airlines on Thursday evening when Checkport staff at the baggage reclaim area attempted to check the tags on the check-in luggage of Davido to confirm if it corresponded with the reclaimed luggage.
It was gathered that the enquiry of the personnel did not go down well with one of the aides of Davido who refused to tender the tags and resorted to abusive words against the staff.
Nigerianfranknewng.com learnt further that after few minutes of exchange of words, the aide, allegedly punched the Checkport staff in the face while another Customs personnel close to the scene of the incident did not escape his vicious attacks.
The attacks on personnel led to the reinforcement of security personnel who bundled th aid to Tango City within the terminal where unruly passengers and touts within the airport are taken to by security agencies.
It was learnt that at the Tango City, rather than behave well, the aide continued his attack on two AVSEC personnel, one of them was a female lady who was writing doing the report and another Customs officials who he attacked and cut his wrist with in the process.
A source source close to the scene of the incident at the airport narrated that It was at this point that the attention of Davido who was already outside the terminal awaiting the collection of his luggage from his aide was called to the terminal incident.
It was gathered that when Davido arrived the scene, he attempted to ensure the release of the aide, which was rebuffed by the security agencies and insisted on taking the detained aide to Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
As at the time of filling this report on Friday, the 17 seized luggage of Davido were still at the airport while efforts were being made to transfer the unruly aide to the CID.
According to the source, “Davido had arrived Lagos Airport as usual with about 17 luggage in all. The rule is that whenever you arrive, you are expected to release your tags to the Checkport staff for confirmation and verification, but rather than comply with the simple rule, one of his aides insisted he won’t allow them to check the tags.
“But, unfortunately, this aide refused to be checked and rather than obey the simple civil aviation rule, he resorted to attacks on everybody. No fewer than four officials were beaten by the person in question with at least two of them soaked in blood.”
Meanwhile, FAAN is yet to make any official comment on the incident.
