In Lagos, Nigeria, a United Nigeria Airlines 50-seater Embraer ERJ145 skidded off the runway. 

On May 31, 2023, the airline provided confirmation of the incident's details and added that none of the 50 passengers had been hurt. 

When the event occurred, the Embraer plane was flying from Abakaliki, Ebonyi state, to Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS).
