Aviation Security, Air Force, Army, Police, and local security agencies arrest bandits...
Security operatives have apprehended four suspected bandits at the Akure Airport, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has confirmed.
In a statement, FAAN said the suspects were arrested following a “coordinated security operation involving aviation and local security agencies.”
The individuals were reportedly spotted behind the airport perimeter near the Eleyewo community.
“In response, security personnel comprising FAAN’s Aviation Security (AVSEC), the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police Force, and other local security outfits immediately launched a joint search operation,” the statement said.
“During the operation, some individuals were seen attempting to flee the area. Four suspects were eventually apprehended by the joint security team and have been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force Area Command for further interrogation.”
CBI News reports that FAAN commended the swift collaboration among aviation security personnel, the military, the police, and local security groups including Amotekun and community vigilantes whose combined efforts led to the arrest.
