Agbor
How a 47-year-old, Mark Agbor, airport worker turned two combat helicopters into his own facebook marketplace
It reads like a Nollywood script, but this was a real security breach at the gateway to the nation’s airspace.
In the early hours of October 7, 2026, a video surfaced online that sent shockwaves through the security community. In it, a man stood boldly in front of two menacing military combat helicopters, looking straight into the camera. With the confidence of a billionaire dealer, he introduced himself as the owner of the war machines, and to the disbelief of viewers, announced that one of them was up for sale, inviting interested buyers to come forward.
The video went viral. But not for the reason he wanted.
The man in the video was not a retired General. He was not an arms dealer. He was Mark Agbor, 47, a staff member of Pathfinders International Limited, a company operating within the airport environment. And those combat helicopters were not his personal property. They were critical assets of the Nigerian Air Force.
What followed was swift, surgical inter-agency justice.
The Provost Investigation Unit of the Nigerian Air Force, Ikeja, immediately picked up the trail, tracked down the impersonator, and arrested him.
After preliminary investigation, he was handed over to the International Division of the Airport Police Command, Ikeja, for thorough investigation and prosecution.
Investigations revealed a clear case of criminal impersonation and unauthorized access to restricted areas – offences that security experts say have grave implications for aviation and national security. By posing as the owner of military hardware and offering it for sale, the suspect not only attempted to defraud the public but also exposed restricted military installations to the world via social media.
Having concluded its investigation, the Airport Police Command has now successfully arraigned Mark Agbor before a court of competent jurisdiction. The court has adjourned the case to 18th November, 2026, for further hearing.
Reacting to the development, the Commissioner of Police, Airport Police Command, CP Ogunbode Olufunke, did not mince words. She described the conduct as a serious security threat capable of undermining the operations of security agencies and compromising critical national infrastructure.
She commended the seamless synergy between the Nigeria Air Force and the Airport Police, noting that the successful arraignment was a product of effective inter-agency collaboration.
CP Olufunke also issued a strong warning to all companies and stakeholders operating within the airport community to tighten their employee screening, vetting and background checks, stressing that one unchecked staff can endanger an entire airport.
For Mark Agbor, what started as a desperate attempt to chase clout and cash on social media has now landed him in the dock, facing the full weight of the law.
The Airport Police Command has reiterated its resolve to remain professional, vigilant and uncompromising in protecting lives, airport operations and Nigeria’s critical national assets.
It is a clear message: The airport is not a movie set. And military helicopters are not for sale on the internet.
