Nigeria: Protesters obstruct access to Port Harcourt International Airport March 27
Protesters block access to Port Harcourt International Airport, Nigeria, March 27. Flight disruptions possible.
Protesters are blocking access to Port Harcourt International Airport (PHC) on March 27. Participants belonging to local communities gathered at around 07:00 to denounce the lack of essential services in the area and compensation due to disturbances caused by the airport.
Access to and from PHC will likely remain obstructed until security forces disperse the crowd. Clashes between participants and the security forces are possible. Flight disruptions, including flight delays and cancelations at PHC, cannot be ruled out over the coming hours.
Confirm all flights at PHC on March 27. Arrive early at the airport to allow additional time for processing. Avoid all protests. Do not drive through roadblocks; wait for police to clear them.
