The Nigeria Police Force has confirmed that three buses owned by Air Peace are currently in police custody following allegations that the vehicles blocked the runway at Lagos airport during an industrial action staged on Tuesday by aviation unions. According to ASP Muhammed Adeola, spokesperson for the Police Airport Command, investigations have begun to identify the drivers who allegedly drove the buses onto the runway and obstructed aircraft movement.
No arrests have been made yet, but the buses will aid investigators in determining responsibility. The industrial action, which grounded Air Peace's operations at Lagos and Abuja airports, disrupted travel plans and left passengers searching for alternative transportation. The unions claimed Air Peace was the airline with the most debt to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority over the Ticket Sales Charge.
