The Airport Police Command has arraigned a 47-year-old man, Mark Agbor, over allegations of impersonation and unauthorised access to restricted areas at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMA, Lagos, following a social media post in which he allegedly offered a military combat helicopter for sale.
Agbor was accused of posting a video online in which he claimed to own two military combat helicopters and advertised one of the aircraft to prospective buyers.
The case has been adjourned until November 18, 2026.
The spokesperson for the Airport Police Command, Adeola Mohammed, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, saying Agbor, an employee of Pathfinders International Limited, was transferred to the command’s International Division by the Provost Investigation Unit of the Nigerian Air Force in Ikeja for further investigation and necessary action.
According to the police, investigations showed that the suspect allegedly uploaded the video on October 7, 2026, claiming ownership of the two military helicopters and expressing his intention to sell one of them.
The command said Agbor was subsequently brought before a court of competent jurisdiction after investigations were concluded.
The Commissioner of Police for the Airport Police Command, Olufunke Ogunbode, described the alleged actions as a matter of serious security concern, warning that such conduct could compromise the operations of security agencies.
Ogunbode assured the public that the case would be handled in accordance with the law. She also commended the Nigerian Air Force for its cooperation with the command throughout the process.
She said the incident highlighted the need for security agencies to work together to identify and address potential threats to airport safety.
The police commissioner further called on companies and other stakeholders operating within the airport environment to improve employee screening procedures, vetting processes and background checks to minimise the possibility of security breaches.
The command reiterated its commitment to professionalism, cooperation with other security agencies and the protection of lives and critical national infrastructure.
It also appealed to members of the public to remain alert and support efforts to preserve a safe and secure airport environment.
