A lady nearly lost her life in a fight with her sister at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport on Sunday after missing their NG Eagle flight.
According to the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Michael Achimugu, the sisters, in their rage, also scattered luggage and other items around the terminal.
Airport security personnel reportedly intervened and took the women to the interrogation office, but the situation escalated further as they continued exchanging blows until one of them fainted.
Achimugu, who shared the incident on his official X handle, @mikeachimugu01, described it as “the strangest thing” he had witnessed at the airport.
He added that despite one sister collapsing, the other refused medical assistance, insisting that their ordeal was “spiritual.”
“Perhaps one of them blamed her sibling for their missing flight (not sure), but these two siblings began to fight each other. They scattered luggage and other items before being dragged to the interrogation office by airport security.
Inside, they began to fight again until one of them fainted. Calls were made for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, but her sister said that the problem is more spiritual than medical and, therefore, did not need a hospital.
“She is presently receiving attention at the FAAN clinic. Hopefully, she makes a recovery. This is not how things should be”.
