Air Peace has accused Senator Adams Oshiomhole of violent and disruptive behaviour at Lagos airport after missing his flight to Abuja. The airline reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on violence and plans to submit reports to aviation and government authorities for investigation and possible discipline
- The incident occurred around 6:10 am at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1.
- Oshiomhole reportedly missed a 6:30 am flight and became agitated.
- Airline alleges physical assault, terminal blockade, and disruption.
- CCTV footage and eyewitnesses support Air Peace’s claims.
- Officials from the NCAA and the FAAN witnessed the altercation.
- Air Peace says flight departed on schedule due to new punctuality reforms.
- Reports to be submitted to the Senate, NCAA, DSS, and others.
- Oshiomhole has yet to respond publicly.
The incident reflects growing tension between political privilege and operational discipline in Nigeria’s aviation sector. Air Peace’s decision to escalate the issue signals an evolving stance by local businesses to demand accountability, regardless of social rank. For a senator, this could spiral beyond PR damage into institutional censure.
In a sector where delays are often blamed on inefficiencies, Air Peace is pushing back with a new narrative: time is law, no matter your title. Will this set a precedent for how VIP misconduct is addressed in Nigeria’s public spaces?
