The cows were seen enjoying the ambience of the airport
area as they grazed on the grass located around the Abuja
airport. This is happening barely a month after cows took
over the runaway of Akure airport while an Air Peace aircraft
from Lagos tried to land.


Meanwhile, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state raised an
alarm over a misnomer he witnessed at the Akure airport,
Ondo state on Saturday, February 17. The governor said
cows took over the runaway of the airport while an Air
Peace aircraft from Lagos tried to land.
According to him, the presence of the cows in the runaway
prevented the aircraft from touching down for about 15
minutes.


Two days after the reported invasion of the airport runway
by cows, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)
suspended the head of aviation security in Akure, Ondo
state. Punch reported that an Air Peace flight from Lagos
was at about 12.15pm on Saturday, February 17, prevented
from landing at the Akure airport, as cows took over the
runway.
