An eyewitness (a passenger) who recorded the scene on a mobile phone showed the man climbing on top one of the aircraft engines.
“Passengers on board the aircraft panicked fearing it could be a terrorist as the man held a bag in one hand – the contents which were not known to passengers,” said the source.
Spokeswoman of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in a short message sent to aviation journalists cleared the air on the incident assuring, “dear colleagues, the man has been apprehended by aviation security (Avsec) and he is in Tango City right now.”
Details of the identity of the man, his mission and most especially the state of his mental health were yet to be disclosed.
