The Federal Government, yesterday, raised alarm over planned attack on some major airports across the federation.
The Ministry of Aviation, in a memo to airport security chiefs, alleged that criminals were planning to strike gateways in Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Sokoto, and Kano.
The notice which was dated April 9, 2021, and signed by FAAN’s Deputy General Manager, Administration, and Logistics, S.M Mamman, read: “I am directed to convey a warning from the Ministry of Aviation regarding security threats by criminal elements against airports in Nigeria and to request the immediate enumeration of appropriate counter measures for the safety of airports/facilities under your purview.
“Airports in Kaduna, Maiduguri, Sokoto, Kano, Abuja, and Lagos are at the top of the list for which criminals are considering carrying out attacks. Both airports, however, are being notified and asked to operate at a higher threat level. Submit a list of current and additional countermeasures to combat the risks, along with their cost consequences where applicable”.
They are also required to call an emergency meeting of airport security committees to “study the current state of airport security, jointly recommend corrective steps and share responsibility for successful implementation”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
