A video circulating on social media captures the chaotic moment a passenger was dragged off a plane for inciting violence and endangering other passengers.
In the clip, the middle-aged passenger stood in the middle of the plane and began screaming at the top of his lungs that President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu must not be sworn in.
The man was warned to sit down and stop constituting nuisance on the plane, but he refused to stay calm and continued speaking against Tinubu.
His words and actions didn’t sit well with other passengers, who labeled him a security threat and requested that he be removed from the flight.
Following the complaints, several airport officials forcibly removed the passenger from the plane, and he was heard screaming ‘Obidients’ while being dragged away, implying that he is a staunch supporter of Labour Party candidate Peter Obi.
The video has sparked mixed reactions on social media as netizens criticized the man for embarrassing himself.

@khadijakuburat noted: “My advice to everyone, specifically the obedients, is to respect themselves and not be carried away by their emotions. He called his party people, but nobody responded.Is it that none of them is on that plane? This has proven everybody is on their own. Very sad. SAY NO TO TERRORISM.”
