Air Peace Limited has strongly condemned the unruly conduct of a prominent Nigerian politician, Senator Adams Oshiomhole for allegedly disrupting airport operations yesterday, Tuesday morning June 10, 2025.
A statement signed by the management of the airline explained that prominent individual in question arrived at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1 (Zulu Hall) at approximately 06:10 AM for Flight P47120 scheduled to depart Lagos for Abuja at 06:30 AM.
The statement further explained that in line with the airline’s standard on-time departure policy, the boarding process had closed, and the flight departed as scheduled.
The statement added that when Oshiomhole was informed of the missed flight, he resorted to violence, physically assaulting staff and forcefully barricading the terminal’s entrance.
It was also alleged that he went as far as sealing the entry gate and manning the access point, effectively obstructing other passengers from gaining entry into the terminal.
“This unacceptable behavior caused significant disruption to ongoing operations and affected numerous travelers scheduled for various flights. To minimise further inconvenience, Air Peace swiftly activated an operational contingency plan to board affected passengers through an alternate terminal, ensuring the continuity of their travel plans.
“We are deeply saddened that such a high-profile figure displayed conduct so unbecoming and disruptive to fellow passengers and our personnel. Air Peace maintains a zero-tolerance stance on violence or any form of aggression against our staff and passengers,” the airline said.
“We urge all guests, to remain civil and cooperative at all times. Aviation operations are bound by strict timelines and safety protocols, and we remain committed to upholding these standards while delivering safe and timely services to the Nigerian public,” the airline added.
Air Peace, the management said in the statement will continue to stand for discipline, integrity, and respect for due process, stressing that no individual, no matter how influential, is above these values.
