- Date: November 13, 1995
- Aircraft: Boeing 737-200
- Location: Kaduna-Intl, Kaduna, Nigeria
- Fatalities: 11
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Continuation of a highly unstabilized approach when a missed approach could have been flown, compounded by a late turn-off at high speed instead of maintaining the overrun into the extended runway end.
A Nigeria Airways Boeing 737-200 on a Yola to Lagos service was flown into Kaduna on a long, unstabilized approach to runway 23 after the captain rejected the assigned runway 05. The aircraft touched down with little runway left, could not stop, and turned off the runway to the left; its right wing struck the ground, the fuel tanks ruptured and the aircraft was destroyed by fire. Eleven passengers died.
