A private jet conveying some very important personalities, VIPs, has crash-landed in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Firefighters and rescue officials from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, were immediately deployed to the scene, according to Channels Television.

The private jet was said to be having about 10 persons onboard, mostly VIPs.
