Abuja, Nigeria (MandyNews.com)— Obiajulu Uja, a University of Exeter graduate, has been identified as the man behind a disturbance on an Ibom Air flight, where he shouted, “Tinubu cannot be sworn in.”
According to his Research gate profile, Uja holds a Master of Laws degree from the College of Social Sciences and International Studies.
Eyewitnesses on the flight report that Uja’s outburst about Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, caused panic among fellow passengers and led to a delay.
Security personnel were called to remove Uja from the plane after he resisted attempts to calm him down.
As he was escorted off the aircraft, he continued to shout, drawing attention from other passengers.
The motive behind Uja’s actions remains unclear, with some speculating that they may have been politically motivated.
The incident has raised concerns about the impact of mental health on air travel as airlines and airport authorities deal with an increase in disruptive behavior on flights.
This has led to calls for more training and support for passengers with mental health issues.
Ibom Air has not yet issued a statement regarding the incident involving Uja.
