BREAKING: Passengers Stranded As Labour Unions Shut Abuja Airport (Video)

The passengers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja are currently stranded and unable to continue their journeys due to an ongoing protest by labour unions.

The protesters are reportedly members of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress.

This is following the recent attack on the National President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, in Imo State.

The aviation unions across the country jointly declared the suspension of all flights to Owerri, Imo State, from every airport in Nigeria.

Reports have it that the protesters attempted to enter the airport but were stopped at the checkpoint by the military. Angered by the refusal, the protesters blocked the airport’s entry and exit points, causing heavy vehicle traffic on both sides.

Travellers are forced to start making their way into the airport on foot.
