Gunmen on Sunday morning made a second attempt to abduct people at the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) quarters in Kaduna State.
The gunmen, who attacked to the quarters on Sunday, met a stiff resistance from a combined team of the Nigerian Air Force and Nigerian Army.
A FAAN official, who asked not to be named, said the gunmen came through a different route.
“They did not come through the airport side; this time around, they came through another side of the quarters but security agents were prepared for them.”
A resident of the senior staff quarters said the gunmen had targeted one of the houses in the premises but security agents overpowered them.
The incident happened two days after 39 students were abducted from the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in Afaka, Igabi local government area of the state.
The gunmen were reportedly heading to a secondary school but when they learnt that security had been beefed up at their target location, they invaded the school.
In a video which was released via Facebook on Friday night, the kidnappers demanded a N500 million for the release of the victims.
