In a startling turn of events at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), an unexpected incident unfolded as a belated traveler attempted to board the incorrect plane, ultimately resulting in his arrest.
The individual in question, a 34-year-old man, found himself in a precarious situation on a Friday night when he arrived late for his intended flight to Mombasa, scheduled for approximately 9 pm.
Desperate to make his journey, he approached Terminal 1D and implored the airport staff for assistance. Regrettably, his pleas fell on deaf ears as the gates to his intended Kenya Airways flight had already closed.
According to officials from the Kenya Airports Authority, the situation escalated when the frustrated passenger resorted to desperate measures, forcibly pushing his way through the security gate at Terminal 1D.
Coincidentally, another flight was in the process of boarding, and in his haste, the passenger mistakenly boarded the wrong aircraft. Concerned airport personnel immediately alerted the authorities, resulting in the man’s detainment.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the late arrival attributed his tardiness to a traffic jam he had encountered en route to the airport.
As a consequence of his actions, the passenger missed his planned flight to Mombasa and now faces detention over the weekend. He is scheduled for arraignment on Monday, September 25, where he will likely be charged with unlawfully entering a restricted airport area.
