FAAN Officials Reportedly Beat Female Passenger Till She Fainted For Recording Harassment

 

A female traveller has been reportedly assaulted until she passed out because she was attempting to document a case of harassment on Monday by officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport.

 

According to information obtained by Peoples Gazette, the incident happened early Monday morning.

 

The report revealed that officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) descended on a female traveller and pummelled her till she lost consciousness, Peoples Gazette has learnt.

 

Christiana Ebun, with Ibom Air ticket QI0313 and seat number 17A, was scheduled to depart Abuja to Lagos on a 7:00 a.m. flight and was waiting to board when she sighted some rogue FAAN officials assaulting a lady.

 

Ms Ebun pulled out her phone to record the assault, drawing the attention of the FAAN officials, who then pounced on her and beat her to a bloody pulp, according to persons acquainted with the incident.

 

The beatings did not stop until Ms Ebun eventually lost consciousness, and her body was dragged out of public view. An official identified as I.E. Odoh was among the officers who hauled her out.

 

Although she regained consciousness, her body was covered with bruises from the assault.

 

When contacted, FAAN spokesperson Hope-Ivbaise Faithful said the matter would be investigated and promised to furnish The Gazette with her findings.

 

Ibom Air did not immediately return requests seeking comments on the matter.
