The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has restated its determination to rid the nation’s airports of touts and perpetrators of illegitimate activities.

In demonstration of its resolve, the Joint Monitoring Task Force (JMTF) and the Aviation Security Crime Investigation & Intelligence (AVSEC-CII) Unit has over the past few weeks conducted raids.

A statement by the organization said on Friday the 4th of August 2023, the Murtala  Muhammed Airport (MMA) JMTF and AVSEC-CII raided the ITZ 1 & 2 landside, the car parks  and the airport access roads.

In the course of the raid, a total of  21 persons including touts, illegal  foreign exchange dealers, hawkers and scavengers were arrested.

The apprehended suspects, it said, have since been  transferred to the Nigerian Police Force through the CII for further necessary  action.

The agency also warned that anyone who has no legitimate business at the airports should  desist from approaching the airports or face consequences, adding that the safety  and security of  airport users  and the airport environment is of utmost importance and cannot be compromised.
