Yesterday, an AIr Peace Flight was prevented from landing at the Akure Airport in Ondo state after cows strayed onto the runway. FAAN has released a statement apologizing for the incident. Read the statement below

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria wishes to apologize to Air Peace Airlines and our esteemed passengers for a runway incursion incident that prevented an Akure airport bound flight from landing for some minutes.

The Air Peace flight, which left Lagos for Akure could not land immediately as some cows had strayed into the runway of the airport.

However, normalcy was restored quickly, as officers of the aviation security department quickly dispersed the cows from the runway and the aircraft was cleared for landing.

The Authority will like to assure travellers and the general public that efforts are already ongoing to close the gap that aided this incident.

FAAN..... Committed to our core values of safety, security and comfort.

So the busiest south west airport flown mainly by Yorubas was overtaken by cows. How bad ate things going to get to before the eyes of the blind are reopened

Has the owner of the cow been arrested, for grazing his cows in an unauthorised place?
