A trainee aircraft No 5N-BRM belonging to The International Aviation College veered off the runway while landing on a solo flight at the Ilorin Airport on Thursday at 10.20 UTC with one pilot on board.
No casualty was recorded at the incident.
The aircraft stopped safely a few metres beside the runway. Normal flights to the airport were not disrupted as a result of the incident.
The Accident Investigation and Prevention Bureau (AIPB) and other relevant agencies are already investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Yakubu Dati, coordinating general manager, Aviation Parastatals, in a statement to Nigeria CommunicationsWeek, said that the incident should be seen normal in an aviation training institution.
“This clarification is necessary to guard against mischief makers who may want to create unnecessary excitement,” he said.
