The Kaduna State Government on Sunday announced the resumption of normal flight operations at the Kaduna International Airport after Saturday’s bandits’ attack.
Over 200 bandits had invaded the Kaduna Airport runway, interrupted flights and killed a security guard.
The bandits had vowed to disrupt the aircraft operations until they were repelled by the security operatives.
However, in a statement on Sunday, the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said the Airport have resumed operations.
“Troops stationed within and around the airport responded and repelled the attackers.
”The bandits killed a staff of the airport, stationed at the perimeter fence who raised alarm on sighting them”.
The statement added that Airport operations resumed with scheduled flights departing after the incident.
He said further updates will be communicated to the public, as security forces are conducting operations in the airport general area.
Aruwan informed that Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i commended the security forces for their prompt response to the attack, and for repelling the attackers, even as he expressed sadness at the report of the casualty.
He sent condolences to the family of the victim while offering prayers for the repose of his soul.
