– The private jet

After the November 2023 incident when a private jet, which was conveying the minister of power, Bayo Adelabu, from Abuja to Ibadan crash-landed at Ibadan Airport, another private jet skidded off the runway while landing at the same airport.

No fewer than 10 persons escaped death on Friday as the private jet from Abuja overshot the runway while landing at Ibadan Airport.

The pilot cried when he realized why the birds were flying next to the plane.

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.
