A dispute between two adult sisters at Abuja airport disrupted operations after the pair missed their NG Eagle flight.

The incident, which reportedly occurred on Sunday, began when the women argued over the missed departure, with the disagreement escalating into a physical altercation until one of them lost consciousness.

Luggage and personal items were scattered as airport security intervened, eventually escorting the sisters to the interrogation office.

The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Michael Achimugu, disclosed this in a post on his official X account.

“The strangest thing just happened at the Abuja airport. Two sisters, both adults, booked to travel via a NG EAGLE flight. They missed the flight because they were late,” Achimugu said.

“Perhaps one of them blamed her sibling for their missing flight (not sure), but these two siblings began to fight each other. They scattered luggage and other items before being dragged to the interrogation office by airport security.”

He said when the two sisters got inside, they began to fight again until one of them fainted. Calls were made for an ambulance to take her to the hospital, but her sister said that the problem is more spiritual than medical and, therefore, did not need a hospital.

Achimugu said she is presently receiving attention at the FAAN clinic, adding: “Hopefully, she makes a recovery. This is not how things should be.”
