The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Friday said that it had suspended an aviation security officer, Jennifer Luka at the Yola International Airport over allegation of theft.
In a statement issued via its Twitter handle, FAAN said that the security operative had been suspended pending an investigation into the alleged theft.
Part of the statement read, “Following a report of theft involving an aviation security officer, Jennifer Luka at the Yola International Airport, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria has suspended indefinitely the officer involved, pending the completion of investigation into the case.
“The Authority has consequently handed over the erring officer to the appropriate security agency for further questioning and prosecution.
“FAAN deeply regrets this unfortunate incident and the conduct of Jennifer, which does not reflect the values of the Authority and its staff. The Authority wishes to reassure the general public that our airports remain safe and secure for travellers and other airport users.”
Luka was arrested at the Yola Airport on Thursday for alleged stealing $600 belonging to a female pilgrim, Hafsat Mohammed.
