A private jet having about 10 persons onboard including Very Important Personalities (VIPs) has crash-landed in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
Sources say 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 reporters.
The rate of aviation incidents in the past few months has been concerning despite the sacking and replacement of heads of aviation agencies.
Recall, in November, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, escaped death when a plane he was on board crash-landed at the same airport.
The aircraft type was a Canadair Challenger (twin-jet) (CL60) while the owners are TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE
