According to Channels Television, firefighters and rescue personnel from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, or FAAN, were on the scene right away.

The aircraft made a crash landing at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport in Ibadan on Friday morning, according to a source who spoke with Channels.

The aircraft, bearing the registration number N580KR, veered into the adjacent shrubbery instead of the runway.

“It was an Abuja-based private aircraft. Although it overshot the runway, it landed safely. There were no casualties, Carol Adekotujo, a spokesman for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), told Channels.
