A yet-to-be-identified man was on Friday evening carried off an Abuja to Lagos flight.
The middle-aged lone protester was said to have announced that the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, must never be sworn in as President on May 29.
In the video obtained by our correspondent, it took the efforts of no fewer than six airport security officers to evacuate him after holding up the aircraft for more than an hour, as the 6pm flight had yet to move as of 7pm.
In the video, the man could be heard shouting, as he was being carried off the aisle, “Obidients you’re here. They are doing this to me. Obidients you’re here, I am naked. Obidients you’re here, I am going naked.”
However, no one could come near as officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria and Ibom Air surrounded him.
Describing the plan as an aberration, the DSS said such would undermine civil rule as well as plunge the country into an avoidable crisis.
This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the service, Peter Afunanya.
However, the 36 state governors under the aegis of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum Friday requested the DSS to as a matter of urgency arrest and prosecute those involved in the plot to put in place an interim government as a replacement for the nation’s democratic system.
The NGF also warned the DSS against issuing statements without arrest, noting that such could lead to heating up the polity.
This was disclosed in a statement released by the forum’s Chairman and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, on Friday.
