The number of Air Peace vehicles impounded by Nigerian police for their role in a recent Lagos airport runway blockade has risen from three to five, according to a reliable news source. The impounded vehicles are marked AJJ 589EX, KTU 440EZ, AAA 831F, KTU 85FH and EPE 656HF. The disruption occurred when individuals suspected to be Air Peace staff members positioned the vehicles on the airside of the airport, hindering the movement of aircraft.
The Nigerian Police spokesperson confirmed that five Air Peace vehicles are now in their custody. Air Peace, however, claimed that impostors may have been responsible for the incident and promised to conduct an internal investigation. Until the airline provides the identity of the drivers, the vehicles will remain in police custody.
The impoundment comes amid an industrial action by aviation unions over Air Peace's refusal to remit a five percent Ticket Sales Charge to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority.
