The American Registered aircraft
-N5972TF which has become a bone of contention between its new owner, Captain
M.J Ekehinde and Mr. Oladapo Coker, owner of Dapsey Oil, the filling
station where the aircraft stalled its journey on Thursday might reach its
destination today.
This is according to sources who said both parties have
reached an agreement and that the plane might be towed to Badagry
early today or on Monday if they are able to get a tow van.
The source said as at last night,
the aircraft owner has yet to pay the compensation to Cocker but was still
working on the sum which remained a secret.
Yesterday
when our correspondent visited the Filling station in Igando, the aircraft which was allegedly
impounded by the owner who was aggrieved due to lost businesses remained a
tourist attraction. However onlookers watched the plane from a
distance following the presence of stern looking security officials.
There are more than 30 abandoned
aircraft in airports across the country. Analysts said these aircraft still
have economic value and each can be sold at between N800,000 to N1.5 million.
The aircraft which caused some
speculations is a junk aircraft belonging to late Apostle Gabriel
Oduyemi of Bethel Ministries.
The new owner took delivery of it
from the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) on
Wednesday and was towing it to Badagry
when a burst tyre stalled its movement.
