Presidential candidate Peter Obi calls for a comprehensive probe into an Enugu Air runway excursion reported at Benin Airport. In statements shared by Nigerian media outlets, Obi urges aviation authorities to investigate both the circumstances and the underlying cause of the incident, rather than treating it as an isolated event. He directs his call to Nigeria’s aviation regulators, including the NCAA (Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority), and the NSIB (Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau), which are responsible for oversight and incident investigation. Obi frames the incident as a prompt to strengthen aviation safety standards and improve transparency around how such events are examined and addressed. The requested probe focuses on understanding what led to the excursion and ensuring lessons are applied to reduce the risk of similar occurrences. Both sources describe Obi’s position in similar terms, emphasizing thoroughness and aviation safety as key considerations. The reports do not add specific details on the aircraft condition, injuries, or operational outcomes of the incident, focusing instead on Obi’s demand for an official investigation.
