Alleged supporters of politician ride motorcyles on Sokoto airport runway

A Twitter user on Saturday shared a video of the Sokoto Airport runway where alleged supporters of a politician rode motorcycles in pursuit of an aircraft supposedly carrying the politician.

The video shared on @diaryofpilot showed that the video was shot from inside a taxiing plane and shows motorcyclists right on the same runway as the plane.

The video was captioned: “Happening in Sokoto Right now… The Runway filled with supporters of some candidate… Where did we get it wrong as a country?”

Since the video was posted, other Twitter users have been reacting.

At this point, I think we need to call a spade a spade. It doesn’t matter if @MBuhari is not the Min. for Aviation or Dir. of @FAAN_Official but if this rubbish is allowed 2 happen knowing fully well that dis cud lead to a catastrophe, then d C-in-C must be held responsible.
