Tense Moments at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport

Passengers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, were thrown into confusion when two sisters allegedly engaged in a heated fight after missing their scheduled flight. The dramatic scene reportedly unfolded near the domestic departure terminal on Sunday, October 12, 2025, drawing the attention of onlookers, airport staff, and security personnel.

Witnesses described the situation as “chaotic,” as the sisters shouted at each other over who was responsible for the delay that caused them to miss their flight.

Eyewitness Accounts Spread Across Social Media

Shortly after the altercation, videos and photos began circulating across Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram, showing a verbal clash between the two women. Some posts claimed that one of the sisters collapsed during the argument, but DocuNews Central fact-checks reveal that no credible source has confirmed this claim.

Independent reports, including one from Reuben Abati’s news platform, verified that there was indeed an altercation between two sisters at the Abuja Airport, but the details about a collapse appear to be exaggerated or unverified.

What Triggered the Dispute

According to accounts from nearby travelers, the sisters had arrived at the airport just minutes after boarding closed for an NG Eagle flight to Lagos. Blame quickly turned into frustration, and frustration into a public argument. Security officers intervened to calm the situation, preventing it from escalating further.

No arrests or injuries were reported, and both women eventually left the terminal after airport officials restored order.

Fact Check: Did One Sister Collapse?

Despite viral claims, no official statement from airport authorities, NG Eagle, or eyewitnesses confirmed that any of the women fainted or required medical attention. The story of one collapsing seems to have originated from social media exaggeration — a common pattern when viral incidents spread without full verification.

Public Reaction

The incident has sparked a mix of amusement and concern online. While some social media users laughed at the sisters’ dramatic exchange, others pointed out the need for emotional control and better time management when traveling through busy airports.

“People underestimate how stressful travel can be. Missing a flight can bring out the worst emotions, especially when family is involved.”

Final Thoughts

The Abuja Airport altercation is a reminder of how quickly frustration can boil over in stressful travel situations. While reports confirm that the sisters did argue publicly after missing their flight, claims of one collapsing remain unverified.

Travel experts advise passengers to arrive at least two hours before domestic flights to avoid such emotional and financial stress.
