Our Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Abuja that was temporarily closed over 20 hours,leaving many Abuja bound passengers stranded on the 4th of December was as a result of the Saudi Arabian plane that broken on the runway at the airport, was carrying 5 set of bulletproof cars weighing 58 tonnes and another set of five bullet proof cars weighing 42 tonnes, according to the Saudi Arabian Embassy.
In a bid to clear the air, the Embassy released a press release stating the content and who owned them. The statement in part reads
“The goods were a portion of a supply contract for 10 bullet-proof cars to a government agency in Nigeria, which were to be conveyed from Sharjah (UAE) via Abuja, through Fast Forward Cargo US UAC, to Defence Industries of Nigeria (DICON), 45 Ahmadu Bello Way, Kaduna, through the company’s contact person: Mr Nwajpudu Livinston/CCC. The goods were manufactured in South Africa.”
The aircraft broke down at about 9.19 pm on the runway immediately it landed. Security officials and agencies have kept mum on the issue since the incident happened.
