The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has reacted to speculation that a plane found in Lagos crash-landed Tuesday evening.
The aircraft had caused a gridlock on the Ikeja-Agege road.
FAAN, reacting via a terse statement posted on its social media handles, told Nigerians to disregard the news.
The statement reads: “The aircraft was sold by the owner to a buyer, who was taking it to its final destination”,
In his observation of the viral video, an aviation analyst, Daniel Dikio had tweeted: “It is an Airbus A319, hasn’t flown domestically in years. I can see traces of a green logo, it likely belonged to First Nation Airways in its time.
“The wings are separated cleanly, this wouldn’t happen in a crash. The separation is a sign of dismantling.
“There is no damage to the fuselage, almost impossible given the purported circumstances”,
