Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Mr. Osita Chidoka, the Aviation Minister, on Monday February 16 stated that the ministry has arrested three staff of Arik Air for stealing fuel from an air plane.
Chidoka wrote this on his official Facebook page, stating that a group of three workers, Isaac Ajakaiye Blessing Dugbe and Samuel Asuquo were arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, during a security patrol operation on Sunday February 15, 2015 around 3 a.m.
He stated that the three staff were stealing Jet A1 fuel from Arik Air plane, with registration number: 5N-MID into six kegs for sale at a cheaper price to other unsuspecting airline operators.
"A development that has capacity, to threaten safety and security of airplanes. Meanwhile, the three suspects were handed over to the Crime Investigation Bureau (CIB), AVSEC MMIA for further action," he stated.
Chidoka maintained that in the aviation industry's fight against corruption and security breaches, "other chief security officers and heads of aviation security have been alerted and directed to intensify patrol and surveillance operations at various airports across the country".
He added that the importance of the crime to the security and safety of airplanes has necessitated the chief security officer of the Lagos airport to ensure that the suspects are handed over to the airport police for adequate prosecution.
Arik airline is yet to officially comment on the latest incident.
