He had planned to upload the footage as a prank video but the recording was quickly interrupted by security staff and police, according to Northumbria Police.
“Carrying out a prank of this nature at an airport is an incredibly stupid thing to do and can come with a jail term of up to seven years,” Detective Inspector Steve Byrne said in a. “Ndela planned his controversial skit and was naïve enough to believe he could get away with it unchallenged. However, this reckless [behavior] is in fact a criminal [offense] and not something the criminal justice system takes lightly.” Ndela will be sentenced next month.
