A Nigerian plane taking part in an exercise aimed at testing disaster response operations has crashed in the southern oil city of Port Harcourt.
The air force plane - carrying dozens of officials - skidded off the runway as it was landing at the city's international airport.
Emergency workers on the ground who had been preparing to stage a mock rescue had to deal with a real accident.
The passengers and crew escaped with only minor injuries. "No life was lost but the aircraft was severely damaged," police spokeswoman Rita Inoma-Abbey said.
