Nigerian Police Force deploys bomb detection squad to airports — FAAN
The Nigerian Police Force has deployed
its Bomb Detection Unit to help beef up
security at various airports in the
country ahead of the forthcoming
Christmas celebration.
A statement issued in Lagos on Sunday
by Mr Yakubu Dati, the Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) General
Manager, Corporate Affairs, said the
deployment was part of the security and
safety measures.
It said that the deployment of the police
bomb detection unit to the airports was
to complement the effort of FAAN’s
security personnel at various security
screening points to ensure a hitch-free
celebration.
The statement quoted Dati as saying that
necessary operational and security
measures had been put in place at all the
airports to ensure free flow of
passengers and cargo during the
yuletide.
“Passenger facilitation at all our airports
has also been enhanced by the
installation of more modern and bigger
conveyor belts and metal walk-through
detectors.
“The expansion and modernisation of all
the airport terminals now provide better
ambience and more space for
restaurants at the terminals, as well as
newly opened duty free shops,’’ Dati
added.
According to him, this will help
passengers to relax comfortably while
waiting for their flights.
He stated that “the authority, however,
advises air passengers to make early
arrangements for their travels and to
leave home early on their travel dates in
order to complete their boarding
facilities in good time.
“We wish all passengers safe and
enjoyable yuletide celebrations.’’
