At least 1 killed in gunmen attack in airport in NW Nigeria

An armed group on Saturday attacked northwest Nigeria's Kaduna International Airport with heavy weapons, killing at least one person and injuring several others, according to security and local sources, Trend reports citing Xinhua.

Mohammed Jalige, a police spokesperson in Kaduna, confirmed the attack to reporters in the state but declined to give details.

The number of gunmen is over 200, a military source told Xinhua.

The development caused panic at the airport as the terrorists killed one security personnel of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.

The military source said most of the staff working at the airport had fled the area just as more military personnel had been deployed to the airport.
