I am on a Dana Flight meant to leave Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport at 9PM but still stuck here because a plane overshot the runway and there is difficulty getting the right equipment to clear the runway. Both domestic and international flights are stuck. So much for the promised change! pic.twitter.com/C22KSlAU2R

The incident has reportedly affected travellers going in and out of Abuja.
“Folks who should’ve landed in Abuja have been stuck all night in Kano and Kaduna airports,” one passenger said.
Many stranded passengers reportedly slept on the tarmac.
