An Allied Air Cargo plane with five passengers onboard skidded off Runway 22 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Wednesday morning after a tyre burst.

Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) officials confirmed that all passengers were safely rescued and are receiving medical attention.

The incident, which occurred at 10:05 am, involved the aircraft registered as 5N-JRT.

FAAN’s spokesperson, Mrs Obiageli Orah, stated, “The five souls onboard were evacuated without injury and taken to the FAAN clinic for further checks. The Airport Emergency Response Team and accident investigators are actively managing the situation.”

Following the mishap, the airport temporarily shut down its main runway, leading to significant disruptions and flight delays.

FAAN reassured the public that efforts to clear the runway are underway and normal operations would resume shortly.

“We appreciate the aviation community and the general public for their patience and understanding. We urge everyone to avoid speculation until the Nigeria Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) releases a preliminary report,” the statement added.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari was laid to rest on Tuesday, July 15, at his residence in Daura, Katsina State, drawing an emotional close to a chapter in Nigeria’s political history.

The late President’s body arrived in Nigeria from the United Kingdom earlier in the day and was received with full state honours at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina.

President Bola Tinubu, who flew in from Abuja, arrived at 1:42 p.m. and was on hand to personally receive the remains of his predecessor.

A guard of honour was mounted for the Commander-in-Chief, shortly before the Nigerian Air Force plane transporting Buhari’s body touched down at 1:51 p.m.

According to family sources, the body was first taken to Buhari’s Daura residence, where his immediate family and close relatives offered a private farewell.

A few solemn moments were observed before the casket was moved to the community’s central prayer ground for the final rites.

“It was a dignified and peaceful farewell,” a family member told reporters. “We are grateful he returned home and was buried according to his wishes.”

Buhari, who served as Nigeria’s President from 2015 to 2023, died in a London hospital on Sunday, 13 July 2025, after a prolonged illness.

His passing triggered tributes from global leaders and Nigerians across political divides.

In a brief remark at the airport, President Tinubu described his predecessor as “a patriot who loved Nigeria till his last breath.”

Security was tight in and around Daura, as thousands gathered quietly to witness the late leader’s final journey.

Traditional rulers, senior government officials, and members of the armed forces were present to pay their respects.

The former military ruler and two-term civilian President is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
