Officials of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Monday beat a female traveller until she passed out because she was trying to document a case of harassment at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Christiana Ebun, with Ibom Air ticket QI0313 and seat number 17A, was scheduled to depart Abuja to Lagos on a 7am flight and was waiting to board when she sighted some FAAN officials assaulting a lady.
Ebun was said to have pulled out her phone to record the assault, drawing the attention of the FAAN officials, who then pounced on her and beat her to a bloody pulp, according to persons who witnessed the incident.
The beating did not stop until Ebun lost consciousness, and her body was dragged out of public view.
An official identified as I.E. Odoh was among those who dragged her out.
Although she later regained consciousness, her body was covered with bruises from the assault.
When contacted, FAAN spokesperson Hope-Ivbaise Faithful said the matter would be investigated.
