FAAN sacks firm accused of illegal vehicle clamping

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has dismissed a transport company accused of illegally clamping vehicles and collecting penalties from motorists at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, according to a report by Punch Newspapers. The decision came after a complaint alleging the company's involvement in questionable enforcement of no-parking and no-pick-up rules.

The complainant, identified as Ogundele, alleged that motorists were pressured into making payments through personal accounts and point-of-sale operators, rather than official channels. FAAN's Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, confirmed that the company was removed from the airport following an escalation of the complaint to the Managing Director, Mrs Olubunmi Kuku.

FAAN has distanced itself from the company and the alleged practices, stating that they do not have a current agreement and have been warned against such actions in the past.
