A plane flew from Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos to Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the capital, Abuja, local authorities noted.
A cargo aircraft operated by Allied Air Nigeria
skidded off the runway into the grass verge after landing. No fatalities or injuries to the crew or ground personnel have been reported, Nigerian authorities said.
"In the morning on December 11, 2024, an Allied Air cargo aircraft […] skidded off runway 22 at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja with five souls on board with no reported injury," read the statement by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria.
The incident prompted an immediate response from the airport emergency services and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) reinforcements. All five crew members were safely evacuated, the NEMA said.
"The aircraft sustained significant damage," the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) reported.
The runway was temporarily closed but had since been reopened, with normal flight operations resumed. The NSIB is investigating the cause of the incident, authorities noted.
