Footage posted online shows the passenger in a physical exchange with the crew shortly after a Uyo–Lagos trip, as Aviation Security officers rushed to de-escalate the situation.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority told Daily Trust that early findings suggest a violation of standard in-flight safety procedures.
