Air Peace condemns Oshiomhole’s unruly conduct

The management of Air Peace has strongly condemned senator Adams Oshiomhole over his “unruly and disruptive conduct” at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos this Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

In a statement posted on its official 𝕏 account, the popular airline accused the senator of assaulting staff and forcibly shutting down the Zulu Terminal at the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) after missing his scheduled flight to Abuja.

According to Air Peace, the former Governor of Edo State arrived at the Zulu Hall of the terminal at 6:10 AM, just 20 minutes before the scheduled 6:30 AM departure of Flight P47120 to Abuja.

It disclosed that by that time of his arrival, boarding had already closed, and the flight departed as scheduled in line with its on-time departure policy.

Part of the statement reads: “Upon being informed of the missed flight, the politician resorted to violence, physically assaulting our staff and forcefully barricading the terminal’s entrance.

“He went as far as sealing the entry gate and manning the access point, effectively obstructing other passengers from gaining entry into the terminal.”

Lamenting the unruly behavior of the senator, Air Peace stated that it had to activate a contingency plan, redirecting affected passengers through an alternate terminal to ensure uninterrupted travel.

“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.

“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 however urged all passengers to remain civil and respectful while engaging with aviation staff and processes.
