There was panic on Friday over the demolition of a perimeter fence belonging to the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu. DAILY POST learnt that the demolition, which was carried out by thugs, created tension among the residents of nearby estates, as well airport workers.
A reliable source told our correspondent that a swift response by men of the Nigerian Air Force led to the arrest of some of the perpetrators. There was also confusion over claims that the men behind the demolition were escorted by the police and some unknown gunmen. This is not the first time the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, is coming under such attack.
“When the assailant was caught, he was saying that the authorities of the Enugu State Police Command approved his action; we will no longer accept the invasion of this place by some group of unknown gunmen aided by the police.” Similarly, the Chairman of Oriental Estate, Engineer Chris Aniemeje urged the federal government to deal decisively with Emejulu. He recalled that this was not the first time Emejulu was allegedly invading the Enugu airport.
