The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has clarified the presence of a huge plane spotted along the Ikeja road in Lagos State on Tuesday night.
A statement by FAAN on its official Twitter account said contrary to several trending reports on social media, no plane crash was recorded in Lagos State as been speculated.
It will be recalled that Naija News had earlier reported that Lagos State residents were left in awe on Tuesday night after spotting the big plane on the Agege-Ikeja motor road.
The uncommon development caused heavy traffic on the road as motorists could not pass easily and pedestrians also stood by to watch.
Explaining the true situation of things, FAAN explained in a statement on Tuesday night that the plane was sold by the original owner to a buyer and was been transported to its final destination.
It urged residents of Lagos to disregard reports about a plane crash.
“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 statement reads.
“The aircraft was sold by the owner to a buyer, who was taking it to its final destination,” FAAN wrote.
