The authority dismissed the online report purporting that the Airport was targeted in an explosion that rocked an estate at Maiduguri early Saturday.
FAAN in a statement by its General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Mrs Henrietta Yakubu, clarified that there was no explosion at the airport.
She said there was also no invasion of the airport.
She said, “With respect to an online report making the rounds that the Maiduguri airport was rocked by a bomb explosion purportedly masterminded by Boko Haram insurgents, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) hereby notify passengers and the general public that there was neither explosion nor intrusion at the Maiduguri airport.
