Private Jet With VIPs Crash-lands in Ibadan, Runs into bush; No casualties
By Trek Africa Newspaper
A private jet conveying 10 passengers including some very important personalities, VIPs, has crash-landed in Ibadan, Oyo State.
A reliable source said the jet crash-landed on Friday around 11 am at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport.
The jet with registration number, N580KR, missed the runway into the nearby bush.
Firefighters and rescue officials from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) were immediately deployed to the scene. But there was no death or casualty recorded.
“It was a private plane from Abuja. It landed safely but overshot the runway. There was no casualty,” a spokesperson for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Carol Adekotujo told journalists.
It could be recalled that the rate of aviation incidents in the past few months has been of concern despite the sack and replacement of heads of aviation agencies.
In November, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, escaped death when a plane he was on board crash-landed at the same airport.
