NLC describes siege on airport as assault on Nigeria

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Kaduna State Council has condemned the siege by bandits on Kaduna International Airport on Saturday describing it as an assault on Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement signed by the State Chairperson, Ayuba Magaji Suleiman, made available to newsmen on Monday in Kaduna.

The congress urged the general public to always report suspicious movement or persons to relevant security agencies to ensure prompt action and prevention of attacks by enemies of peace.

“We commiserate with the staff of the Federal Airports. Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), who was shot dead by the invading terrorists.
