Plane that broke down on Abuja runway was carrying bulletproof cars



The Saudi Arabian plane that broke down on the
runway of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport on the 4th of
December leading to the closure of the airport for over
20 hours 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.
