On Nov. 9, FAAN apprehended the staff while soliciting bribe from a passenger at the airport in Lagos.

Consequently, the On Duty Card, ODT, of the staff has been withdrawn by FAAN and handed over to the relevant security agency for appropriate action in order to serve as a deterrent to other ”bad eggs in the airport.”

“We are fully in support of what FAAN is doing to rid our airports of this menace of corruption
