Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones has been ban from all planes in the United States following the allegation on the devices catching fire easily. The order from the country's Transportation Department bars owners from carrying on the phones or taking them in baggage during flights from 5pm UK time equivalent to 10pm in Nigeria on Saturday.  It warned that people who packed the devices in checked luggage raised the risk of "a catastrophic incident", and passengers caught attempting to bring them on a plane could be fined or have them confiscated.  Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said: "We recognise that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority. "We are taking this additional step because even one fire incident inflight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk.
