There were 4 crew members and 51 passengers, according to the Bureau, but no one was hurt or killed.

A United Nigeria Airlines Embraer ERJ145 with the nationality and registration marks 5N-BWY was involved in an incident, according to the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB).

In a statement issued on behalf of the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Tunji Oketunbi, the NSIB stated that the aircraft, which was travelling from Abuja to Lagos, went off the runway upon landing on runway 18R at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos.

The Bureau reported that there were 4 crew members and 51 passengers on board the aircraft, but no one was hurt or killed.

However, in order to help it undertake a thorough investigation, the NSIB is requesting information from the general public in the form of images, videos, or recordings.

The preliminary findings will be made public soon, according to the Bureau.

The NSIB requested that the public and the media respect the privacy of those concerned and refrain from speculating about the serious incident’s origin before the official report was made public.

The NSIB is a multimodal investigating organisation tasked with looking into significant occurrences and transport accidents in Nigeria in order to determine their likely causes and providing safety advice that would help prevent recurrence.
