The
Lagos Airport Police Command has arrested a Nigerian passenger for smoking
cigarette in an Arik Air flight on London to Lagos route named Lawal
Oluwabusola. In a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO),
Airport Command in Lagos Mr Livinus Chukwuma, stated that Olubusola was
arrested on Sunday upon landing in Nigeria.
He was apprehended at the
international wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
The PPRO said the suspect’s action was out of line with the in-flight safety
procedures. “The suspect was smoking electronic cigarette in the lavatory which
triggered off emergency alarm system in the aircraft causing confusion among
passengers,” he said. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in 1992,
the International Civil Aviation Organization had passed a resolution mandating
its 152-member countries to go on smoke-free by July 1, 1996.
