By our reporter| The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria9FAAN) has accused the head of the State Security Services (DSS) at the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja, Safiyanu Abba, of slapping a security officer at the airport.
FAAN in a Tweet via its verified twitter handle on Wednesday, said Mr Abba breached the security protocol and assaulted the officer for calling him to order on Friday.
According to FAAN, the DSS boss had prevented security officers at the airport from performing a mandatory check on a passenger.
The tweet read, “We note with dismay that Mr Safiyanu Abba, the Head of DSS at NAIA deliberately obstructed airport Security process, and slapped an Aviation Security Officer who was performing his duty by calling on Mr Safiyanu Abba to desist from doing so.
“This happened on the 17th July at about 15:25 hours. He breached security procedure by obstructing further searching of a visitor who had just walked through the metal detector and activated the alarm.”
FAAN condemned the action, describing it as an abuse of power and the security process in our airport.
DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunaya, has, however, denied the allegation.
