The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has provided an update on the attack by terrorists on Kaduna International Airport on Saturday.

Mrs Faithful A. Hope-Ivbaze, acting General Manager, Corporate Affairs, in a statement on the incident, confirmed there was one casualty. 

She also said two motorbikes abandoned by bandits were recovered by security operatives who rushed to the scene afterwards.

The update reads: “The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) regrets to state that a group of bandits attacked the Runway 05 axis of Kaduna airport earlier in the day.

“However, a combined team of anti-banditry military personnel and Crime investigation unit of FAAN Aviation Security Department swiftly intervened for rescue operation,with one casualty reported in the incident.

“Normalcy has since been restored at the airport.The team also recovered two motorbikes abandoned by the bandits.

“Additionally, heavy reinforcement team from the Nigerian Defence Academy is on ground to ensure safety and security of airport workers/users.

“The FAAN AVSEC Department has equally released operational vehicles to the team for patrol purposes.

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

The Afaka,Kaduna axis, even though several military and security agencies are sited there, have for sometime, become one of the most dangerous and security violated areas in the state.

Analysts say the attack by terrorists on the Kaduna International Airport is a dress rehearsal of what to expect from the outlaws in the coming weeks and months, calling on the nation’s security to be more conscious of their responsibilities, and advising the nation’s top echelon of security to do the needful and prevent such lapses, considered as too many and getting more dangerous by the day.
