Heavy Traffic As Damaged Plane Blocks Agege Motor Road

A passenger jet has caused traffic madness after being towed down a busy motorway in Lagos.

The plane was spotted by multiple eyewitnesses on Ikeja Along, a motorway in Lagos, Nigeria. One unverified video posted to Twitter by user @Instablog9ja showed the plane with one missing wing. It was not immediately clear what happened to the plane, which appeared to be severely damaged.

The aircraft was seen on Agege Motor Road near the busy Ikeja Along Bus Stop, witnesses said.

It is unclear which airline the plane belongs to, as the aircraft was unmarked.

Some commenters said it crash-landed but others said it was being towed to a repair workshop near the airport.

Videos and images of the chaos were shared on Twitter, with one eyewitness Mac Henry writing: “I just saw a plane crash around Ikeja along.”
