Italian Detained At Lagos Airport For Refusing Screening
SECURITY operatives at the Murtala Muhammed
Airport 2, Lagos yesterday detained an Italian
woman, Lilian Abdulrahman for hours after she
refused to let her luggage be screened in
accordance with civil aviation rule protocol.
Abdulrahman, who is married to a
Lebanese, was detained by officers of the
Nigerian Police Force, Bi-Courtney
Airport Security and the Nigerian Civil
Aviation Authority (NCAA) officials.
The woman arrived Lagos on an Aero
Contractors Airline flight from Abuja
around mid-day Thursday.
It was gathered that upon arrival, she
was alleged to have prevented the Bi-
Courtney officials from screening her
bags, which is against the standard
aviation protocol at all airports across
the world.
Abdulrahman was alleged to have
insulted the officials before she dragged
her luggage from the Arrival Wing to a
waiting Honda car.
This prompted the aviation security to
alert the Nigeria policemen attached to
the airport who prevented the car from
leaving the premises until the bags were
subjected to screening.
This attracted a large crowd of people to
the scene as they wondered what the
bags could contain, despite the fact that
they were exposing their lives to danger
if those bags contained explosives.
