Angry passengers protesting the cancellation of an Azman Air flight at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, yesterday night, reportedly assaulted some staff of the airline.

According to Daily Trust, trouble 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.

The protest later turned violent, resulting in a female staff of the airline collapsing after being hit by some of the angry passengers.

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

Meanwhile, Azman on its official Twitter page said the flights on January 15 could not operate due to safety reasons.

The tweet read: “ NOTICE! Due to our Strong stance on SAFETY, we regret to announce that these flights scheduled for today 15th will not operate.

“We hereby implore all affected passengers to kindly accept our unreserved apologies for this unusual event.”
