A protesting unidentified adult male passenger was carried off an Abuja to Lagos flight on Ibom Air on Friday evening after declaring that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, must not be sworn in as President.
According to an eyewitness, the man stood in the middle of the plane and raised his voice, stating that Tinubu must never be sworn in, adding that there would be “war” if that happened.
The airport security authorities were called before he could be evacuated after holding up the aircraft for more than an hour, as the 6pm flight was yet to move as of 7pm.
In the video obtained, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria security men could be seen carrying the middle-aged man off the plane, as he kept shouting, “Obidients, you’re here. They are doing this to me. Obidients you’re here, I am naked. Obidients you’re here, I am going naked.”
Supporters of Peter Obi known as Obidients are of the opinion that Tinubu must not be inaugurated. They have been staging different kinds of protest to register their displeasure of the results of the February 25 presidential election.
