My people, no be small matter wey dey happen for our airports o! Military officers don begin try carry guns enter commercial flights like say dem dey play. E shock me as I hear this kind gist, and I sabi say plenty pipo go dey wonder wetin dey happen for security matter for Naija.
According to gist from The PUNCH, e be say dem don catch plenty military personnel wey try smuggle dem service guns into flights. This kind waka dey happen anytime wey you no expect am, and e fit cause big wahala for airport security and even aviation industry too. E be like say dem sabi say dem fit dodge the rules, but wetin dem no sabi be say wahala no dey hide for under the carpet!
One officer wey dem catch no be small man, Lieutenant Adam Muhammad Yerima. Dis guy try board ValueJet flight with him pistol like say na him property. Abeg, no be fight we go dey fight for airport o, but na real life matter wey fit make person reason contact police, if no be careful. Na him glory separate wey lead am to the Wike matter come back to throway him gun carry came back to base!
Dem say dis officer cross passenger screening like say e get VIP pass, but e no sabi say rules no dey change for nobody—military or civilian! ValueJet staff stand firm no matter wetin happen, but the officer dey vex come pose as if dem dey disrespect him. Abeg, who no go vex if dem say dem no fit carry gun enter plane? E be like movie!
Aviation expert, retired Group Captain John Ojikutu no gree keep quiet on top dis matter. E talk say this kind waka no fit dey accepted for aviation wey suppose dey very keen on safety. Na so e be, every passenger, even VIP, get screening! E no dey matter if you be military, everybody must follow the rules.
E don clear say if dis military officers no go follow rules, na bad example dem dey set for others. According to aviation rules, dem no fit carry guns join passengers, and if dem insist, dem must hand over the arm to the pilot till dem land!
Another aviation member, Olumide Ohunayo, don yarn say military weapons na serious matter for aviation regulation. He dey warn say e go fit cause serious wahala if dem allow anyone carry dem gun enter plane. Everybody sharp, and make nobody carry their wahala come reach airport.
As e be now, e don reach the aviation authorities to do wetin dey necessary, make dem remind all airlines say dis kind palava no fit dey happen again. Nobody wan hear story for a crash because of careless handling of weaponry or security.
Even as I dey talk, reach out to United Nigeria Airlines chairman wey no wan talk, saying make we report back to regulatory agency. Wetin we dey talk now be say military personnel must follow rules, and dem sef no dey exempted.
Dis matter no be small play, we go dey follow am closely—because dis no fit happen with dem. Time don reach for Naija aviation to set standard wey everybody go fit follow, make wahala no come finish us.
