The Airport Police Command, Lagos, has said it will arraign two passengers for allegedly smoking and engaging in unruly conduct aboard an Air Peace flight from South Africa to Lagos, an incident that reportedly triggered the aircraft’s emergency smoke alarm and caused panic among passengers.
The command disclosed this in a statement on Friday signed by its Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Adeola, and identified the suspects as Enaruna Prince Aghama, 51, and Tony Ajayi, 43.
According to the statement, the suspects were handed over to the International Airport Police Division by Aviation Security personnel after the aircraft landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, for further investigation.
The police said preliminary findings showed that the incident occurred at about 7:44 p.m. on Thursday while the aircraft was en route to Lagos.
