Disaster was averted on Friday night in Sokoto as a Saudi bound Air Plane with 512 people on board lost two tyres while landing. This is coming scarcely 36 hours after an ill-fated plane in Lagos claimed 13 lives.
It was learnt that the technical crew of Kabo Air plane saved the day as it confronted the emergency and taxied to a halt.
The Kabo Air plane which left Kano on Friday en route Saudi Arabia was said to be at the Abubakar Sadiq III International Airport, Sokoto, to pick some high profile passengers. The averted tragedy occurred just as a Benin-City bound aircraft could not land and had to return to Abuja.
