One of the aides of Davido whose name was simply given as “Kayode” a
became upset and beat up an official at the airport who asked him to
produce his baggage tags at the airport today, later beat up officials
of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Aviation Security (AVSEC), a
department under the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and a
staff of Checkport over an attempt to check the tags on the checked
luggage of Davido on an Emirates flight.
It was gathered that Davido who had arrived the country through an
Emirates flight around 5 pm, had 17 checked luggage, which the aides
refused to allow the officials of the Checkport verify with the attached
tags. Crisis broke out when a Checkport staff at the airport attempted
to verify some of the checked luggage with the attached tags, but,
rather than allow the staff to carry out his official duty, the aide
(Kayode) insisted that he would not allow him to verify the luggage,
which after much arguments and insistence, led to fisticuffs.
Kayode punched the Checkport staff on the face, which attracted other
security officials at the terminal who immediately attempted to arrest
the aide.
But, rather than obey, he resisted arrest and pummelled another airport staff at the baggage claim area.
When he seemed uncontrollable, the security officials mobilized and
forced him to a restricted area within the terminal known as “tango
city.” Tango City is a place where touts and unruly persons are detained
within the terminal before being transferred to a police station for
further a possible interrogation and possible prosecution.
At Tango City, the aide allegedly continued his attacks on security
officials by hitting a female AVSEC official who was taking notes of the
incident in the tummy and later pushed another Customs personnel who
landed awkwardly and cut his wrist in the industrial fan in the area.
As all these were going on, Davido was aware of the on-going crisis
inside the terminal ran to hide in a car outside the terminal where he
awaited the release of his aides and luggage in vain having mobilized
some officials with cash to take care of the problem.
Report also held that that the entire 17 luggage
belonging to Davido are yet to be released to him and information
gathered indicated that one of the luggage might contain a huge sum of
cash in foreign currencies.
