The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria says it has concluded plans to establish magistrate courts across the airports in the country.

Managing Director of FAAN, OLUBUNMI KUKU, made this known during a meeting held in Abuja between FAAN management and heads of security agencies at the NNAMDI AZIKIWE International Airport, Abuja.

The Authority said the development is in continuation of the fight against touting in Nigerian airports as well as ensuring that violators of airport rules get an instant judgment.

OLUBUNMI identified the presence of touts and loitering by members of the public as a major challenge to making genuine airport users comfortable.

Kuku also reiterated the need to reduce manual baggage search at the international wing of the airportnoting that a process would be put in place where baggage would go through screening machines, and security officials would view the contents in real-time and only pull aside luggage that requires secondary screening.

She warned car hire operators violating processes and protocol noting that such behaviour would no longer be tolerated.
