A officer attached to Harry Akande, owner of AIC Limited on Tuesday threatened to ‘gun down'the official of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
AIC on Tuesday stormed the airport premises to reclaim the land that has been removed from the company but was resisted by FAAN‘s Aviation Security officials, who threw caution to the wind and battled members of the AIC, including throwing stones at Mr Akande.
FAAN had leased the said land to AIC about 10 years back for the development of a hotel facility at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos.
A forthnight ago, FAAN had won a case against AIC on the land because the Federal High Court in Lagos put aside your decision of arbitration that awarded the company $48 million to be paid by FAAN, as compensation for ejection of AIC from the land.

While FAAN insisted that the land in question belongs to it by virtue of the Federal High Court judgment; AIC also said the court never ordered the agency to take control the parcel of land immediately.
FAAN officials bulldozed their way into the barricaded land, pulled down the gates and commenced clearing of the land with two tractors and its personnel.
