Kaduna – The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said normalcy has since been restored at the Kaduna Airport which was invaded by a group of armed bandits on Saturday.

The organisation in a
statement signed by Faithful Hope-Ivbaze, Ag.General Manager, Corporate Affairs, said normal flight operations have also resumed.

It said in the statement obtained from its Twitter that a reinforcement team from the Nigerian Defence Academy is now on ground to ensure safety and security of airport workers/users.

“The Authority uses this opportunity to sympathise with the family and friends of the victim of this unfortunate incident,” the statement further said.

She said that the “group of bandits” attacked the Runway 05 axis but were repelled by security forces.

Salami confirmed that a staff member was killed by the assailants.

” A security guard who was patrolling the runway was shot by the assailants before soldiers, attracted by the sound of gunshots, responded,” she stated.

According to her, normalcy has since been restored at the airport and security officials recovered two motorbikes abandoned by the bandits.

The attack delayed the takeoff of a Lagos-bound flight.

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufa’i has commended security forces for their prompt response to the attack, and for repelling the attackers.

The governor also condoled with the family of the victim, the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said in a statement.(vitalnews)
