Passengers and airline staff come to blows after flight got cancelled at Nigerian airport

There was pandemonium at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, on Friday evening, Jan 15 following the cancellation of a flight.

The chaos started when passengers of an Azman flight from Kano to Lagos were informed that the flight, which was earlier rescheduled from 7:30am to 8:30pm, had been cancelled.

Passengers protested and it soon turned violent, resulting in a female staff of the airline collapsing after being hit.

A passenger was also left with a bloody mouth while another staff had his cloth nearly ripped off his body, Daily Trust reports.

At the check in station, passengers of the airline for Kano-Abuja, who had earlier been checked in, also suffered similar fate as their flight was again rescheduled.
