A man rammed his car into a parked Nigerian Arik Air plane in Nigeria's southeastern city of Calabar, but no one was injured in the incident, an airport spokesman said.

Military security arrested the driver on Wednesday after the car was driven into the aircraft at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport in Calabar.

"A driver broke through two gates manned by the air force and entered the airport site and crashed into a stationary Arik aircraft," said Akin Olukunle, spokesman for the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria.

"Our men rushed to the scene and evacuated crew members on board. We have beefed up security."
