No casualties as private jet overshoots runway in Ibadan
No fewer than 10 persons escaped death on Friday as a private jet from Abuja overshot the runway while landing at Ibadan Airport.
The private jet, carrying 10 persons onboard, skidded off the runway around 11:00 a.m. at the airport.
The jet, with registration number N580KR, missed the runway and entered the nearby bush.
A Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident to journalists.
The official mentioned that the private jet landed safely but skidded off the runway while landing at the airport.
Firefighters and rescue officials from FAAN were immediately deployed to the scene of the incident, and the official added that everything had been brought under control.
“No casualties were recorded from the incident,” the official said.
A private jet, which was conveying the minister of power, Bayo Adelabu, from Abuja to Ibadan, also crash-landed at the same airport in November 2023.
