Air Peace Reaffirms Zero Tolerance For Violence Over Adams Oshiomhole’s Unruly Conduct At Lagos Airport

By Frank Oshanugor

One of Nigeria’s fast growing airlines, Air Peace has strongly condemned what it called the unruly conduct of a prominent Nigerian politician (Senator Adams Oshiomhole) who disrupted airport operations in the morning of Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

In a press statement on Wednesday afternoon, Management of the airline said “The prominent individual in question arrived at Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 1 (Zulu Hall) at approximately 06:10 AM for Flight P47120 scheduled to depart Lagos for Abuja at 06:30 AM. In line with our standard on-time departure policy, the boarding process had closed, and the flight departed as scheduled.

“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.”

According to the airline management, “This unacceptable behavior caused significant disruption to ongoing operations and affected numerous travelers scheduled for various flights.

“To minimize further inconvenience, Air Peace swiftly activated an operational contingency plan to board affected passengers through an alternate terminal, ensuring the continuity of their travel plans.

“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.”

Management of the airline has therefore appealed to members of the public saying “We urge all guests, to remain civil and cooperative at all times. 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.

“Air Peace continues to stand for discipline, integrity, and respect for due process. No individual, no matter how influential, is above these values,” Air Peace statement added.
