In a dramatic turn of events, Senator Adams Oshiomhole brought operations at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport’s General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Lagos to a grinding halt today, June 11, 2025.
According to eyewitnesses, Oshiomhole arrived late for his 6:30 am Air Peace flight to Abuja and, upon discovering he had missed his flight, took matters into his own hands. In a fit of rage, he blocked the entrance to the Zulu Terminal, preventing other passengers and airport staff from accessing the facility.
The senator’s actions caused widespread chaos, with numerous travelers stranded and unable to reach their gates. Despite pleas from airport staff, Oshiomhole refused to budge, sparking a tense standoff.
Air Peace officials condemned Oshiomhole’s behavior, describing it as “unacceptable” and stating that it caused significant disruptions to their operations. The airline also alleged that the senator sealed the terminal gate and personally manned the access point, preventing other travelers from entering the terminal.
The situation was eventually defused after the regional airport manager intervened and convened an emergency management meeting. Following a heated exchange, Oshiomhole relented, allowing airport operations to resume.
The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about the senator’s behavior and the impact of his actions on innocent travelers.
