A United Nigeria Embraer ERJ-145, registration 5N-BWW performing a flight from Abukaliki to Lagos (Nigeria) with 50 people on board, landed on Lagos' runway 18L at about 15:00L (14:00Z) but veered right off the runway and came to a stop on soft ground with the nose gear collapsed. There were no injuries.

The airline reported the aircraft "was forced to terminate its movement to the apron off the runway".

Passengers reported the aircraft was rolling out Wednesday afternoon when about halfway through the rollout the aircraft began to shake due to tyre detachment and went off the runway.
