One of the planes was reportedly taxiing from the runway to MMA2 to drop off passengers while the other aircraft was preparing to take off for Port-Harcourt when the collision happened.
A source at airport is said to have blamed the incident on a possible misdirection by the marshals who directed the arriving plane to taxi to the wrong part of the apron.
