The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, narrowly escaped a tragic fate as a private jet operated by Flint Aero crash-landed on Friday night at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident occurred after the aircraft, which had departed from the Abuja airport on Friday evening, attempted to land at approximately 10 p.m. near the Ibadan airport runway. During this landing attempt, the private jet veered off course, derailing the runway and eventually crashing into a nearby bush.
A security official at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed the incident on Saturday.
The official stated that only two individuals were aboard the aircraft at the time of the crash – the pilot and Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
There were no reported fatalities in the incident, providing a sense of relief to those who were concerned about the minister’s well-being.
However, the aircraft sustained substantial damage during the crash.
