Some people had to move to a road far from the airport in order to catch taxis.

There was significant traffic on the route to the airport as drivers waited for the demonstration to end.

Passengers were seen discussing the situation, with some blaming Hope Uzodinma, the governor of Imo State, for the labour actions that followed the attack on Joe Ajero, the president of the NLC.
