Glamtush reports that a private jet conveying about 10 persons onboard including Very Important Personalities (VIPs) has overshot the Ibadan airport runway in the Oyo State capital.
According to Channels TV, an impeccable source said the incident happened on Friday around 11 am at the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport.
The jet with registration number, N580KR, missed the runway and skidded into the nearby bush.
