IRS plane and truck collide at MM Airport in Lagos

An IRS Plane yesterday morning collided with an abandoned truck parked beside the taxiway at Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos. The wing of the aircraft collided with the truck which forced the Kano-bound plane to cancel the flight. Passengers were later put in another flight. A statement from IRS Airline below... “This morning our flight LVB 3306 taxied out on a Lagos to Kano flight with a transit stop at Abuja. The aircraft taxied out at 7:48am with 91 passengers. While taxing on the taxi way the Captain observed a FAAN truck in a ditch. There were no marshals around it neither was there any marking to indicate that it encroached into the taxi way. There was no Notice To Air Men (NOTAM) issued to that effect as well. The captain continued on his taxi and the wing tip hit a protrusion from the truck towards the rear of the truck. This made the captain request a return to ramp from the tower and also notify the tower of the incident and the danger posed by the truck. The passengers were disembarked and accommodated in another aircraft which departed Lagos at 10:15am. The incident has been reported to Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority and we await the clearance of the NCAA to effect repairs and return the aircraft to service. No passenger or crew sustained injuries as a result of the incident.

Car Owner Parks Car 60ft Up In The Air On Balcony

The owner of this car went to extreme measures to dodge any prowling parking wardens or car thieves by amazingly getting his vehicle into a very tight spot – 60ft up in the air. The red Toyota Yaris was spotted perched on the balcony on the third floor of an apartment block in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. How and why it got there is still a mystery. It didn’t arrive by going out through the window and it would take great skills by a crane driver to lift it into position without smashing it up against the building. Perhaps it was a very clever publicity stunt by the car manufacturer. But whatever the answer to the riddle, you have to admire the driving skills of the motorist to get into such a tight spot.

Tailor Gets Jailed for Breach of Agreement in Osogbo

A lot of people have at one point in time or the other found themselves helpless in the hands of craftsmen without knowing what to do. The most common type of torture people suffer in the hand of these craftsmen is delay in delivery of jobs taken. These disappointments could cause unimaginable measures of loss to customers sometimes. And they could have been avoided if the craftsmen are more honest when promising on the time of delivering jobs. Most of the times customers too do not know there are proper ways of dealing with these kind of situations. Definitely the customer in the following narrative does not fall in that category. According to the Punch, a 23-year-old tailor, Sylvester Ezebuibe, was on Thursday sentenced to three months imprisonment by an Osogbo Magistrate’s Court for failing to sew a suit after collecting N7, 000 from a customer, Mr. Adebiyi Fasoro. The defendant was reported to have collected the money from Fasoro on August 26, 2012, promising to make a suit for him. Police prosecutor, Isiaka Ajadi, had said that Ezebuibe committed the offence deliberately. Ajadi said Ezebuibe and Fasoro met at a popular eatery in Osogbo, Osun State, where the convict said he was going to sew a suit for the complainant. Ajadi told the court that Fasoro gave Ezebuibe N7, 000 out of the N13, 000 charged and the complainant had to report the case at Dugbe Police Station, Osogbo, when the tailor reneged on his promise. Ezebuibe was also accused of obtaining money under false pretence and stealing – offences contrary to, and punishable under Section 419 of the Criminal Code, Cap 34, Volume II, Laws of Osun State, Nigeria. Ezebuibe, who pleaded guilty to the two counts, urged the court to temper justice with mercy and promised to return the money to Fasoro at a time chosen by the court. The Magistrate, Mr. Olusola Aluko, sentenced Ezebuike to three-month imprisonment with hard labour or payment of N2, 500 fine. POSTED BY: PATT OGAR
