Federal airport authorities said the armed terrorists invaded "runway five" of the airport from a nearby forest and opened fire, killing² one official and causing flight delays.

联邦机场当局说，武装恐怖分子从附近的森林侵入机场的“5号跑道”并开火，造成一名官员死亡并导致航班延误。

Kaduna State Commissioner³ of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said the military deployed⁴ to the airport immediately repelled⁵ the attack before it escalated⁶.

卡杜纳州国内安全和内政专员塞缪尔·阿鲁万说，部署在机场的军队在袭击升级之前迅速击退了袭击。

Armed gangs have been terrorizing the state for years.

In the last few weeks, dozens of people were reported killed in series of attacks on local communities southward of the state where sectarian violence has persisted.

过去几周，有报道称该州南部地区发生了一系列针对当地社区的袭击，造成数十人死亡，那里的宗派暴力活动仍在持续。

Jakes Tudu, an activist⁷ from southern Kaduna, says the recent development is worrying.

来自卡杜纳南部的活动家贾克斯·图杜说，最近的事态发展令人担忧。

"These guys are actually doing the unimaginable, like things you could not believe or things you could not imagine. Coming out in broad daylight to attack (the) airport is, is really, is really crazy and scary."

“这些人事实上在做令人难以想象的事情，就是你无法相信或想象出的事情。在光天化日之下袭击机场，真的非常疯狂、非常可怕。”

Saturday's attack also occurred as Nigerian president and top officials of his ruling political party, All Progressive Congress, APC, hosted thousands of people in Abuja to mark the party's conference ahead of next year's polls, sparking criticism.

周六的袭击发生时，尼日利亚总统和他的执政党全体进步党(APC)的高级官员在阿布贾接待了数千人，以纪念该党在明年选举前举行的大会，此举招致了批评。

The critics say the attacks highlighted major failures on election promises made to Nigerians.

批评人士说，这些袭击突显了他们对尼日利亚人做出的选举承诺的重大失败。
