Nna Alpha Onuoha, 29, was nabbed on September 10, 2013, Tuesday, after making calling in threats to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and putting a menacing note inside his closet that referenced the 9/11 anniversary. On Onuoha’s personal website he rambles about evil spirits, Satan and the antichrist, and posts photos expressing his beliefs.
A
Satan-obsessed airport security screener, Onuoha, appeared behind bars
on suspicion of calling in threats to LAX and taping a menacing note
inside his closet invoking the Sept. 11 anniversary, FBI officials said.
Onuoha,
a Nigerian national, who is now a naturalized U.S. citizen allegedly
called an LAX checkpoint and told a screener that he had visited certain
terminals that day and that TSA (Transportation Security
Administration) officials should evacuate the airport starting with
Terminal 2, an FBI agent revealed.
The caller said he would be “watching” to see if the TSA did as he directed.
A
man believed to be Onuoha later called the TSA manager and said the
terminals should be evacuated immediately because the TSA was running
out of time.
Onuoha
also called LAX police and said they should evacuate the airport
because he was “going to deliver a message to America and the whole
world,” the FBI agent stated.
The terminals in question were cleared without disrupting flights, and no threat to the airport was found.
Investigators
with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force scrambled to Onuoha’s
residence in nearby Inglewood and found it empty other than a note taped
inside a closet that read “09/11/2013 THERE WILL BE FIRE! FEAR! FEAR!
FEAR!”
Acting
on a tip, investigators later found Onuoha in a van in the parking lot
of Harvest Christian Fellowship Church in Riverside, a source told the
newsmen.
Onuoha
was cooperative and said in a post-arrest interview that the taped note
meant he intended to start preaching in the streets on Sept. 11, 2013,
the FBI said.
He claimed he did not intend his telephone statements to be threats and he had no plans to become violent, the FBI said.
Onuoha was charged with making the false threats against LAX and had his arraignment set for Oct. 1, officials said.
