Yuletide: Security “Doubled” in the Country’s Airports – FAAN

airportAs the Christmas and New Year celebrations draw nearer, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has beefed up security across the county’s airports to prevent being caught unawares by undesirable elements. Information gathered on Monday indicated that besides the normal patrol by security operatives around the airports particularly international airports, FAAN, in conjunction with all the security agencies at the airports, have jointly dispatched anti-terrorism operatives to the airports for the purpose of frustrating any attempt to cause havoc.

Security had also been beefed up around all car parks at the airports while it had become almost impossible for anyone who has no reason to be at the airports to be there. According to the General Manager, Corporate Communications in FAAN, Yakubu Dati, who confirmed this development to the Nigerian Tribune, the need for airport authorities to be more alert became pertinent in view of the fact that human traffic, expectedly, would increase during the period as people would be travelling to celebrate with their families, while some evil ones might want to use the opportunity to cause havoc.

In his words: “In FAAN, we are doing more than before in the area of protecting airport users and the airports. The joint security patrol has been doubled this time. With the high volume of traffic being expected, we are working round the clock to ensure there is no loophole for any mischief.”

He then hinted that, in order to ensure all loopholes are blocked, no one would be allowed to park carelessly at any of the airports’ car parks to prevent evil-minded persons from using the car parks. According to him, any passenger traveling through the airport should make arrangement of how he or she will be brought to the airport and drop off without keeping such a car at the park longer than necessary.
