Keyamo Directs FAAN To Fine Obi ₦25,000 For Wrongful Parking At Airport, Demands Apology
Keyamo said CCTV showed the vehicle was left unattended for 30 minutes and warned FAAN action if Obi does not apologize and pay the fine.
- On Friday, Minister Festus Keyamo demanded a public apology and N25,000 fine from presidential candidate Peter Obi, rejecting his claim that his vehicle was "unjustly" clamped at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.
- Obi alleged last week the incident was part of a broader "persecution agenda" ahead of the 2027 election, citing harassment against him and associates. Keyamo dismissed the claims as false, citing CCTV footage from the airport.
- Footage from Saturday, July 4th, 2026, shows Obi's vehicle remained unattended in a restricted drop-off zone for about 30 minutes, creating a security risk. Keyamo claimed Obi used "influence peddling" to secure the vehicle's release without paying the prescribed penalty.
- Failure to comply within one week will prompt the Federal Airports Authority to take further action, Keyamo warned. The minister emphasized that no individual is "bigger than the law."
- These demands arise amid Obi's broader allegations of political harassment ahead of the 2027 election. The Presidency rejected his claims, attributing the airport incident to a breach of parking regulations rather than political bias.
