Heavy traffic as damaged plane blocks Agege Motor Road
A plane was seen on a busy Lagos road after suffering an apparent mishap Tuesday night, according to videos shared on social media, causing miles-long traffic congestion.
The airline, which did not appear marked, was seen on Agege Motor Road near the busy Ikeja Along Bus Stop, witnesses said.
It was not immediately clear what happened to the plane, which had damaged wings, as accounts differ about its fate. Some commenters said it crash-landed around 8:33 p.m., while others said it was being towed to a repair workshop near the airport.
The Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) later issued a statement clarifying that the damaged aircraft was being towed to a facility.
“The aircraft was sold by the owner to a buyer, who was taking it to its final destination,” the FAAN said in a statement on Twitter.
