Tragedy was narrowly averted as a private jet carrying Adebayo Adelabu, the Minister of Power, crash-landed near Ibadan Airport in Oyo State. Initially reported as a crash, it was later confirmed to be a crash-landing.
Details remain unclear, but the incident occurred on a Friday night, possibly due to hazy weather, prompting a travel warning from the Nigerian Metrological Agency. It remains uncertain if any injuries were sustained. The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority issued a caution to pilots and airline operators due to hazardous weather during the approaching dry season.
The aircraft involved was a chartered Flint Short Aero HS 125 with registration number 5N-AMM, departing from Abuja en route to Ibadan. It landed approximately 50 meters short of the runway threshold and skidded into a bushy ditch, prompting an investigation by the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB).
NSIB's Director of Public Affairs, Dr. James Odaudu, confirmed the ongoing investigation, and further details will be provided once available.
