Passenger caught stealing $6,000 on Arik Airline 3

Aviation Security under the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria on Tuesday night arrested a passenger (names withheld) for attempting to steal $6, 000 belonging to a co-passenger.

The passenger had boarded Arik Air flight W3 071 from Lagos to Accra, Ghana before attempting to take the money inside the bag belonging to another passenger onboard. The passenger was caught by a cabin crew when he attempted to open the bag in the overhead baggage hold and subsequently raised an alarm, which led to the arrest of the passenger by FAAN security officials.
