A private jet carrying about 10 people, including Very Important Personalities (VIPs), has crash-landed in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State. The incident occurred on Friday, January 26, 2024. Fortunately, there were no fatalities, and all passengers survived the crash.
Channels Television has reported that an impeccable source said the jet crash-landed on Friday, January 26, 2024 around 11 am at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport.
The jet with registration number, N580KR, it said, missed the runway into the nearby bush.
Firefighters and rescue officials from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) were said to have immediately been 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 our correspondent over the phone.
When contacted, a spokesman for the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau, Tunji Oketunmbi, Channels Television reports, said he would revert but he was yet to do so as of press time.
The rate of aviation incidents in the past few months has been concerning despite the sacking 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.
