The Nigerian Airforce has announced that it would conduct a simulation exercise on counter terrorism, nicknamed Exercise Steel Dome 2, at the Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano.
The exercise which is coming on the heels of an earlier one which was conducted in the Birnin Gwari area of Kaduna last week, would hold today 31 October 2019.
A statement by Airforce spokesman Air Cmdr Ibikunle Daramola stated that it was part of efforts at securing the nation’s airports and other critical national assets against acts of terrorism.
The Exercise, which will involve insertion and extraction of the NAF Panthers within the terminal buildings, will be conducted in conjunction with other security agencies at the Airport. It advised air travelers and other airport users not to panic but go about their normal businesses, as efforts will be made to minimize disruptions to operations at the Airport.
