Air Peace: Nigerian Senator Causes Commotion at MMA1 Terminal After Missing Flight [VDEO]

A viral report claims that former Edo State Governor and current lawmaker, Adams Oshiomhole, created a scene at the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA1) terminal in Lagos after missing his 6:30 am flight to Abuja on Wednesday.

According to eyewitnesses, Oshiomhole arrived at the terminal around 6:20 am, mere minutes before the scheduled departure time. However, the Air Peace flight reportedly took off on schedule, leaving the lawmaker behind.

In a dramatic turn of events, Oshiomhole allegedly ordered the terminal gate shut in reaction to missing his flight. The incident has sparked widespread attention and debate, with many taking to social media to share their reactions.

The incident has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some defending Oshiomhole’s actions while others have condemned them as unbecoming of a public figure.

Air Peace, the airline involved, later issued a statement condemning his actions and reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance toward aggressive or disruptive behaviour from any passenger.

The incident occurred early on June 11, 2025, at Murtala Muhammed Airport. Oshiomhole allegedly refused to leave the terminal after missing his Air Peace flight. Despite attempts by staff to manage the situation, his actions was said to have temporarily disrupted airport operations.

I did not disrupt Air Peace flight operations – Oshiomhole

Meanwhile Senator Adams Oshiomhole (Edo North) has opened up on his own side of what transpired at the boarding gate of Air Peace in Lagos when he arrived to take his flight in the morning.

Oshiomhole said that he did not disrupt Air Peace flight operations as alleged by the airline in a statement but decided to fight for Nigerians who were allegedly being ‘extorted’ by the airline through sudden change in time for closing the check-in counter.

According to him, after deliberately categorising himself and other passengers as late for boarding, the airline staff were allegedly collecting higher amount of money from some passengers who they smuggle into the aircraft after making everyone believe that boarding time had elapsed.

He said for a flight ticket of N149,600 those categorised as late were being surcharged an additional sum of N109,900 to be moved to the next flight scheduled for 8.30am, he said this was unacceptable.

He said he refused to be ‘sorted’ by an Air Peace manager who came to meet him at the counter and allowed to board through the backdoor just because he is a Senator.
