Armed men on Saturday afternoon breached the security at the international airport in Kaduna, leaving an aviation security guard killed after opening fire on workers and passengers.
It was reported that the incident occurred shortly after 12:00 noon when the attackers scaled the airport barriers and caused widespread panic across the facility.
“We’ve identified a security worker that was killed as Shehu Na’Allah,” our source said under anonymity because they didn’t have authority to do press interviews about the incident. “We have everything under control now but many people were wounded and some flights were unable to depart.”
Security forces have been deployed to further guarantee calm around the airport, which was used as the main international hub following closure of the airport in Abuja in 2016.
