FAAN speaks on Lagos Plane Crash today

The Federal Airports Authority has released a statement about the reported Lagos Plane Crash today, ENigeria Newspaper reports.

You may recall that on Tuesday evening, an unidentified private jet caused major gridlock at the Ikeja-along Along bus stop.
Many on social media believed the plane had crash-landed on the area, while others claimed it was damaged and was being towed to a nearby Federal Airport Authority (FAAN) facility when it became stranded on the road.

ENigeria Newspaper was unable to ascertain why the plane with one missing wing had stopped at the always-bustling roadway, causing panic among road users.

However, in a swift response, FAAN addressed the issue in a statement on Tuesday evening adding that the news of a plane crash was untrue.

The statement reads: “The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria would like to inform the general public to disregard the news making the rounds on social media about an alleged crash at Ikeja Airport.
The aircraft was sold by the owner to a buyer, who was taking it to its final destination.
Thank You”.
