ONE person is feared shot dead as suspected bandits have stormed Kaduna Airport and stopped an aircraft from taking off from the runway.
Stonix News reports that the Nigeria Defence Academy (NDA) is just about a mile away from the popular Kaduna Airport.
Stonix News gathered that the aircraft was scheduled for Lagos on Saturday, when the hoodlums stormed the runway and halted the process.
The invasion of the bandits forced the officials of the airline and passengers to scamper to safety.
A source disclosed that a staff of Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) was also shot and killed by the bandits.
Amid sketchy details, the deceased was said to have been shot around the runway by one of the bandits
The aircraft was reportedly billed to take off at 12.30p.m on Saturday, but could not because of the presence of the bandits around the runway of the airport.
‘’As I speak to you now, there is already military presence to beef up security, though most of the staff are scared with the killing of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) staff,” a source noted.
As of the time of filing the report, more than 10 military trucks have been deployed to the airport to reinforce the security network.
Stonix News recalls that in 2021, suspected bandits stormed the staff quarters located within the vicinity of the airport and kidnapped 10 staff of FAAN and NAMA.
