The Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos Police Command, has identified the man who climbed an Azman Air aircraft at the airport on Friday as Usman Adamu from the neighbouring Republic of Niger.
The spokesperson for the Command, Joseph Alabi, disclosed the identity of the 32-year-old Nigerien to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.
Mr Alabi, a deputy superintendent of police, said the Nigerien, who is currently being held by the command, could not speak or understand the English Language.
He, however, said investigations are still ongoing to ascertain how he gained access to the heavily restricted area at the airport.
Passengers aboard a Port Harcourt-bound Azman Air flight were thrown into panic on Friday after Adamu climbed the aircraft while it was about to take off at the Lagos airport.
