Officials of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) have reacted to allegations of missing luggage made across social media platforms by popular Nigerians artistes, Tiwa Savage and Wizkid. Recall that Tiwa Savage had claimed that her luggage got missing after leaving the Akwa Ibom Airport for Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.
The singer, performer, songwriter and actress who took to Instagram to ventilate her anger accused FAAN of doing very little to protect the lives and property of air travelers. She even stated that the situation could have also been exploited by terrorist elements to plants bombs.
Reacting, FAAN said the reports were false and baseless. In a statement signed by FAAN spokesperson, Henrietta Yakubu the agency said it was impossible for the jet to be burgled given security measures put in place.
"The purported victims in the said cases also did not make themselves available for questioning, in the quest to unravel the case. Although investigations are still ongoing, FAAN will like to reassure travellers and the general public that with the level of safety and security systems on ground at the airports, it is practically impossible for an aircraft to be burgled within our Runways and Aprons."
