The flight carrying former premier Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz landed at Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport around 8:45pm PST on Friday night, and the two were taken into custody by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials around 9:25pm.

According to media reports, dozens of security officials entered the plane after it landed and asked other passengers to leave. The duo's passports were seized by a three-member Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team.

Shortly after, the two were taken into custody.

Nawaz and Maryam then boarded a small private plane bound for Islamabad International Airport (IIA). The flight has left Lahore. Upon landing at IIA, Nawaz and Maryam will either be flown to Adiala Jail or driven to Attock Jail.
