* NSIB begins investigation
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, escaped death Friday night when a plane conveying him and others crash-landed in Ibadan.
It was gathered that the private jet operated by Flint Aero crash-landed on Friday night at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport.
Having departed the Abuja airport on Friday evening, the aircraft crash-landed into the bush during an effort to land at about 10 pm close to the airport runway in Ibadan.
Reports said an unnamed security official at the airport confirmed the accident on Saturday, saying that while landing, the aircraft derailed the runway, causing a crash into the bush.
He stated there were only two persons on board – the pilot and the Minister of Power, adding that further findings show that there were no fatalities but the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) says it has commenced an investigation into the cause of the accident.
