Security operatives at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, have arrested three unruly passengers aboard an Air Peace flight from London.
Vanguard gathered that the incident occurred during flight when two of the individuals identified as Adedigba Adewale and Ashibogu Magnus, originally seated in Economy Class, their assigned seats, forcefully occupied seats in the Business Class cabin and refused multiple directives from the crew to return to their assigned seats.
Despite efforts to de-escalate the situation, the unruly passengers were defiant, creating a tense atmosphere onboard.
In addition to disregarding crew instructions, they openly consumed a bottle of rum they had brought onboard.
The third unruly passenger identified as Iwonze Benjamin also joined in the consumption of the rum.
Their behaviour raised security and safety concerns among passengers and crew, thereby prompting the captain to make repeated announcements from the cockpit.
Recognising the potential threat, the flight crew notified security agencies in Nigeria ahead of arrival.
Upon landing, law enforcement officials were on the ground to apprehend the individuals who were taken into custody for further investigations.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident, and appropriate legal action is expected to follow.
