Heard an aircraft {not sure what type} possibly an F28 or DC9 had hydraulic problem going into Lagos today. I heard the one main gear collapsed on landing. Anyone got any more details?

IRS Airlines Fokker F-100 departed LOS for ABV, reported problems with hydraulics and returned to LOS. Landed without brakes on 19L and had to make a sharp turn at high speed at the end of the runway which caused right(?) main gear to collapse and the wing dug in and part of it broke off. there was a fuel spill. I hope the aircraft isn't written off. The aircraft has been the mainstay of IRS over the last few months so this is going to hit their operations hard. Thankfully the crew are highly experienced, the outcome could have been different. I didin't hear of any injuries. Ops at DNMM were delayed a bit initially but are somewhat beck to normal now. I am yet to confirm exact details so this may not all be gospel truth.
