As they get into gear for the African U23 Championship billed for Senegal, it has been revealed that Nigeria U23 team, the Dream Team VI, escaped a plane crash on their way to Gambia on Sunday morning.
The Samson Siasia-led side were on their way to Gambia for a 10–day training program after their trip to Morocco was cancelled owing to visa issues.
The ARIK Air aircraft conveying the team from Lagos, it was learnt, lost a tyre on landing at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra. The airplane on ground in Accra, the capital of Ghana, which was then deployed for the purpose of flying the team to The Gambia, also lost an engine on take–off and the pilot had to make a quick return.
“Thank God for his goodness and his mercies we escaped plane crash on our way to Gambia, the pilot had to make an emergency landing in Accra,” a senior official of the team told Goal.com after the incident.
ARIK, however, provided another aircraft that flew the delegation to The Gambia through Dakar.
