The Muritala Muhammed Airport in Lagos was subjected to an early hour of tension on Monday as angry passengers ventilated their anger and protested against what they described as government’s insensitivity and irresponsibility.

The protest was occasioned by the cancellation of passengers fight to London which was initially scheduled for boarding.

 In a trending video on social media, a crowd of angry passengers were noticeably pacing around the airport galleries, disrupting the official operations and scattering the premises in response to the cancellation announcement.

According to the background voices in the video, Arik Airline was said to have been the latest operator that cancelled its flight to London.
