The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has suspended some officials for allegedly extorting a passenger at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
FAAN spokesperson, Henrietta Yakubu, disclosed this in a statement in Lagos on Saturday.
She said the officials are staff of Aviation Security and Customer Service departments.
She said the On Duty Card of their accomplice from the Nigeria Immigration Service had been withdrawn.
The spokesperson said the action was taken to serve as deterrent to other bad eggs in the system, adding that FAAN’s management was determined to rid the nation’s airport of corrupt officials.
