BREAKING: Passengers Escape Death As Plane Crash Lands In Ilorin Airport

The runway of the Ilorin International Airport has been blocked to traffic following an incident involving an aircraft from one of the country’s main airlines.

Many passengers, including a number of high-ranking Nigerians, narrowly avoided death.

All flights to Ilorin have been canceled until the jet has been evacuated.

On June 16, the airline began operations from Ilorin Airport.

According to the investigation, the plane crashed into Ilorin at around 9.30 a.m. on Friday morning.

The jet landed with a thud, causing bags to fall on passengers in the cabin.

It was determined that due to the crash’s severity, the jet was unable to taxi to the tarmac.

The airport’s runway has been blocked to traffic for the past 24 hours.

However, all of the people who had been traumatized were successfully evacuated from the runway.

At the time of reporting this report at 2:08 p.m., efforts were underway to move the plane away from the runway.

According to a source, the procedure of moving the plane from the runway was difficult since “it is a larger aircraft and we have no equipment.”

“We are in the process of removing the aircraft. We have been on it for 24 hours,” the source added.

But the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and other agencies offered to keep the incident under wraps.

“We were directed to manage the situation,” the source said.
