- Date: August 23, 1992

- Cause: Poor flight and landing planning by the crew, who landed at the wrong airport, along with poor crew coordination and decisions and lack of ATC assistance.
A BAC 1-11 landed at the old Sokoto Airport by mistake after poor flight and approach planning. The crew tried to take off, then braked hard because of high-tension cables at the runway end. The aircraft overran, lost its undercarriage and slid before stopping. All 57 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was written off.
