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)
