FG ban private jets from landing in Kano

The Nigerian government has banned private planes from landing at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, new media reports suggest.

Chris Olukolade, the spokesperson for the Nigerian military revealed to Premium Times that the ban was for “security reasons” and declined to state the nature of the security concerns. But a source in the military has revealed that the directive is connected with Sunday’s crowning of Lamido Sanusi as the new Emir of Kano.
