There was a minor accident Friday at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos involving a Turkish Airline aircraft and a Max Air plane. The Turkish Airline plane wings collided with that of Max Air plane which had brought in Pilgrims from Saudi Arabia.
Airport sources said the Turkish Airplane had landed safely but was taxing to stop at the apron, when its wing collided with that of Max Air.
The collision resulted in minor damages to both airplanes and they have been taken away for repairs.
When contacted , Mr. Fan Ndubuoke, spokesman for Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) confirmed the incident. He however said damages to the aircraft belonging to both airlines are minor and that both planes have been taken away for repairs.
It will be recalled that there was a similar incident last year in Jos, Plateau State when an Arik plane wings brushed an Airforce jet parked at the apron when the plane was taxing to stop . There was no casualty in the incident but only damages to both planes.

this isn't a collision, just an handshake or better put, wingshake.

A plane was coming from a journey, landed and wanted to stop, then it wingshook the plane of the same company it met on ground.
Shikena!

I guess na Minister's fault.

The Minister will now be blamed for allowing this to happen! I guess she should have been on the run way with orange flags directing air traffic
