Default Nigeria Runway Protesters

Angry villagers briefly held up an IRS Airlines F-28 4000 and 100 passengers hostage on the runway at Kaduna Airport until they were disbursed by the Police. They were protesting the fencing of the airport. Part of the airport was used as a short cut into town. Nigeria is currently fencing most of the 25 airports in the country.

Sounds like that alone is a good reason to fence the airports.
