dash200,

The Fokker F28-1000 which over-ran the runway in Port Harcourt in heavy rain was PH-FPT, c/n 11994 and was indeed leased from Fokker. It was subsequently written off. There were no fatilities. Of course this was at the time when Port Harcourt airport was at the Nigerian Air Force Base, rather than the present international airport location at Omagwa and I think the only navaid was an NDB (though I can't be positive about that).
