The Airport Police Command has arraigned a 47-year-old suspect, Mark Agbor, over alleged impersonation and unauthorised access to restricted areas at the Murtala Muhammed Aiport (MMA), Lagos.
The suspect allegedly attempted to sell a military combat helicopter on social media, according to a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Airport Police Command, Adeola Mohammed.
Mohammed said the suspect, a staff member of Pathfinders International Limited, was handed over to the International Division of the Airport Police Command by the Provost Investigation Unit of the Nigerian Air Force, Ikeja, for further investigation and necessary action.
Police investigations revealed that on October 7, 2026, the suspect allegedly posted a video on social media where he claimed to own two military combat helicopters and advertised one for sale.
The statement said the suspect was arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction after investigations were concluded, and the case was adjourned to November 18, 2026.
Commenting on the issue, the Commissioner of Police, Airport Police Command, Olufunke Ogunbode, said that such conduct had serious security implications and could undermine the operations of security agencies.
She stressed that the matter would be pursued in accordance with the law and commended the effective collaboration and coordination between the Airport Police Command and the Nigerian Air Force.
Ogunbode noted that the successful outcome was made possible through joint efforts and inter-agency cooperation.
She further urged companies and stakeholders operating within the airport environment to strengthen employee screening, vetting and background checks to minimise the risk of security breaches and other acts capable of endangering airport operations.
Besides, the command reiterated its firm resolve to uphold professionalism, inter-agency collaboration and the protection of lives and critical national infrastructure, while urging members of the public to remain vigilant and support efforts to maintain a safe and secure airport environment.
