Cross River vows to arrest masterminds behind airport incident
From Anietie Akpan, Calabar
THE Cross River State government has vowed to arrest the masterminds behind the recent incident at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar in which a car driven by one Anieniok Elijah Okon crashed into an Arik aircraft.

Last Wednesday, a taxi driver rammed through two old gates of the Air Force base leading to the airport and crashed into an Arik plane that was about to take off with about 95 passengers onboard.

A statement issued by the state government and signed by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Edet Okon Asim, said: "Government is however aware that last Wednesday's incident at the Calabar Airport is one of the series of grand conspiracies by detractors of government, who are obviously envious of the monumental achievements of the Liyel Imoke-led administration to make Cross River State a trailblazer in leadership and good governance among the comity of states in Nigeria."

Asim said: "Government is not unmindful of the activities of such fifth columnists and is working assiduously to unmask their identities and modus operandi at the appropriate time."

He assured that the security agencies were carrying out their routine investigations to unravel the circumstances that resulted in the incident.

Asim enjoined the public to be "alert to the activities of saboteurs who are out to tarnish the rising profile of the state as the foremost tourist destination and emerging enterprising state in Nigeria."

He said: "The government of Cross River State wishes to assure members of the public, tourists and air travellers to and from Calabar in particular of their safety and security in spite of the unfortunate slight security breach that occurred at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport last Wednesday, March 31, 2010.

"Undoubtedly, Cross River State is the most serene, secure environment and would ever remain so because hospitality, peaceful disposition, warmth and good neighbourliness are the hallmarks of the people's character.

"Meanwhile, government urges the management and all relevant security agencies at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport to be alert to their statutory functions and responsibilities, and ensure the smooth running of the airport to the enviable standard the government desires it to be."

Some ignoramuses have concluded that only when Americans are attacked can we call it terrorism. Bloody second class citizens of their own country.
