He said, “During our CCTV investigation, it was discovered that the bag belonging to Mr George Etuk was accidentally picked up by another intending passenger with the same airline. But after the flight was delayed, and passengers had to find means to relax ahead of the rescheduled time, the anomaly came to the fore.

“The other passenger, who took the baggage unknowingly, had disappeared. On receiving the prompt message, our AVSEC team immediately swung into action. With the aid of the CCTV, we were able to identify what happened and the duty supervisor and his team quickly went after the man who picked the bag.

“The man was intercepted at the drop off zone area when he was about leaving for a nearby hotel to relax since the flight was rescheduled.”
