A protesting man was on Friday carried off a flight which was heading to Lagos from Abuja following his declaration that President-elect Bola Tinubu must not be sworn in on May 29.
Eyewitnesses said the middle-aged man stood in the middle of the plane and raised his voice, stating that Tinubu must never be sworn in, adding that there would be “war” if that happened.
The airport security authorities were called before he could be evacuated after delaying the aircraft’s take-off for more than an hour. The flight was for 6pm but it was yet to move as of 7pm.

A video of the incident which has gone viral shows the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria carrying the man off the plane as he called for help from supporters of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, known as Obidients.
“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,” he said.
The yet-to-be-identified man also said, “You all are sitting here and Tinubu is about to be sworn in as President. Tinubu must never be sworn in. He must never be President.”
