An Amazon cargo Boeing 767 has overrun a runway at Miami International Airport in the United States, striking multiple vehicles and catching fire, according to officials.

The aircraft, identified as 21 Air Flight 7598, was operating for Amazon Air and had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when the incident occurred at about 2 p.m. local time on Sunday.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Boeing 767-300 went beyond the runway after landing. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said the aircraft struck several vehicles and caught fire, prompting a major emergency response.

More than 60 emergency-response units were reportedly dispatched to the scene as firefighters battled the blaze and emergency personnel attended to people affected by the incident.

Early reports indicated that there were multiple patients, but authorities had not immediately released a definitive figure for injuries or casualties.

The cause of the runway overrun remains unclear. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are expected to investigate the incident and determine what led to the aircraft leaving the runway.

Video footage from the scene showed thick smoke billowing from the Boeing 767 as emergency crews responded to the incident.

Further details, including the full extent of injuries and the circumstances that led to the runway overrun, are expected as the investigation continues.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has come under scrutiny on social media after responding to a question about his position on the Almajiri system and the challenges facing vulnerable children in Northern Nigeria.

Responding to a user on X who questioned why he had not been speaking extensively about the Almajiri issue, Atiku reportedly pointed to the establishment of the American University of Nigeria in Adamawa State, saying the institution was created partly to make access to quality education easier for people in the region.

He also argued that if his primary objective had been profit-making, he would have established the university in major commercial centres such as Abuja or Lagos.

However, the response subsequently triggered debate online, with some users questioning how the university's tuition fees could make education accessible to Almajirai, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Atiku's aides have since attempted to provide further explanations in the replies to the post, although some users have criticised the responses for not providing sufficient evidence to support the argument.

The exchange has reignited discussions about the accessibility and affordability of private education, as well as the broader challenges surrounding the Almajiri system in Northern Nigeria.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has raised concerns over reports that some young Nigerians are resorting to selling their kidneys for as little as $1,100 amid the country’s worsening cost-of-living crisis.

Atiku, in a post on X, linked the situation to rising costs of food, transportation, rent, healthcare and electricity, which he said were placing vulnerable Nigerians under severe economic pressure.

Youths block Yola–Girei road after fatal crash kills six

Angry youths have reportedly blocked the Yola–Girei Road in Adamawa State following a fatal road accident that claimed the lives of six people on Friday.

The incident, described as a serious crash, sparked anger among residents and youths in the area, who subsequently took to the road and obstructed traffic along the busy route.

The blockade has reportedly disrupted the free movement of vehicles between Yola and Girei, with motorists and commuters facing difficulties as a result of the protest.

Details surrounding the cause of the crash, the identities of the victims and whether anyone sustained injuries were not immediately available at the time of filing this report.

Authorities are expected to intervene to restore normal traffic flow and investigate the circumstances that led to the fatal accident.
