The suspect a disabled man who was wearing canisters around his neck was nabbed by airport security operatives at the annex office of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency, NAMA, office located inside the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos and was later handed over to police.
According to NAMA General Manager, Public Affairs, Mr Supo Atobatele said “The attention of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency ,NAMA, has been drawn to insinuations that a suspected suicide bomber was arrested at one of the agency’s facilities at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Monday.
“The basic truth however, is that the said suspect was on the ground making phone calls along the airport road close to CENTREX, an annex office of NAMA when the agency’s security personnel accosted him and questioned his presence.”
“His incoherent explanation exposed him to the security personnel who later found on him some devices suspected to be explosives. He was subsequently handed over to the Airport Police Command for further investigation.”
“The managing director, Engr. Ibrahim Abdulsalam has commended the security personnel for their vigilance and prompt arrest of the suspect.”
