“At MMA2, the safety and security of our passengers and their belongings are paramount. We understand that a secure environment is fundamental to the trust and confidence our users place in us,” stated Remi Jibodu, acting COO and Head, Aeronautics and Cargo Services.
Speaking on the terminal’s growing record of successful recoveries, the Head of Aviation Security (AVSEC) at MMA2 noted that the team has received an increasing number of requests for CCTV footage in recent weeks.
“Lately, we’ve had quite a number of passengers request CCTV playback to trace misplaced or forgotten items, and I’m pleased to report that all items have been successfully tracked and found,” she said.
“We have a robust surveillance system, a dedicated security team, and a close working relationship with law enforcement agencies. This renewed zero-tolerance approach means that any individual caught engaging in theft or related criminal activities will face immediate and severe consequences, including full prosecution to the extent of the law.

She further advised terminal users to remain vigilant and pay close attention to their personal belongings while moving through the terminal. “Our security systems are highly effective, but passengers also have a role to play. A little mindfulness can go a long way in preventing avoidable incidents.”
Highlighting a recent example, Ajoke Yinka-Olawuyi, head of corporate communications at BASL, recounted the case of a passenger who inadvertently left his laptop at the security screening point. Upon reaching his destination, the passenger contacted the terminal, and through prompt action and surveillance review, the laptop was recovered and returned to him intact.
“This is just one of many instances that reflect the efficiency and reliability of our security operations,” she said.
