The youths, who have been squabbling with the army over the land in Tungan Maje area of the Federal Capital Territory, blocked Osinbajo’s motorcade on the busy Umaru Yar Adua expressway connecting the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
The vice president’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, later disclosed on his twitter handle that the situation had been brought under control. Akande said that Osinbajo appealed for calm and assured the protesters that their grievances would be addressed adequately. The source disclosed that some passengers on the aircraft who were not familiar with the sudden delay in landing and the pilot’s announcement were terribly worried until a second announcement that the aircraft had been cleared to land.
He said the protest was to tell the government that the people should be given their proper place in the territory and must not be treated as second-class citizens. But the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai said nothing would stop the army from constructing a cantonment to be named after President Buhari on the land.
