Below is how Pm News reports it.
‘’A
Nigerian passenger travelling on Business Class from Abuja to the South-eastern
state of Enugu aboard Arik Air has been caught stealing from another passenger during flight, the
airline said in a statement on
Tuesday.
The suspect, Mbah
Mike, was caught on 28 November and handed over to security operatives at the airport, said a source
close to Arik Air.
“On November 28,
2014, a passenger on board Arik Air flight W3 410 from Abuja to Enugu was
caught meddling with the bag of another passenger during flight.
“The passenger
left his seat on 3C and moved to overhead locker on seat number 1 D/F, opened
the locker and was meddling with a bag. It was found that the bag belonged to
another business class passenger. His own two bags were in the locker over his
seat on 3C.
“The passenger
who had his name on the boarding pax as MBAH MIKE was handed over the Security Agents at the Akanu Ibiam Airport, Enugu on arrival of the flight for
interrogation,” the statement said.
Mbah, who speak
good English, refused to make written statements.
“The passenger
whose bag he was seen meddling with informed that his money was still intact but two other passengers reported that their money was missing.”
The case was
transferred to Airport Police Command, Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu
station.
“During
interrogations, it was found that Mbah Mike (might not be the real name) of the
suspect, as he could not give any information about the company whose identity
card he holds.
“He said the
identity card was forged to enable him board the flight to Enugu as he lost his
original identity cards. No document found on him has any name like Mbah Mike.
“Complimentary
cards and one other
document found on him bears the name NDU WALTER CHUKS (Managing Director,
WACHUNDU Oil & Gas services),” Ola said.
He said his oral
statement recorded by the police indicates that he has no known home in Nigeria
as he shuttles between Congo, Abuja and Lagos supplying assorted wine and spirits to clients.
“He claims he is
still seeking for a home, while using his shop in Lagos at the moment as his
home. His wife and three kids lives in London according to his statement.
“He is still in
police custody and is expected to be charged to court in Enugu on January 16,
2015,” Arik Air said’’.
