The unions also claimed that domestic airlines were obstructing employees from joining trade unions. In response, a driver for Air Peace blocked the airport runway, leading the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to order the arrest and prosecution of the driver.
The NCAA spokesperson, Michael Achimugu, confirmed the driver's action and threatened sanctions against the unidentified individual. Air Peace's spokesperson, Efe Whiskey-Osifo, denied the claim that the vehicle blocked the runway.
