What happened
During an approach toward Ibadan, the flight crew encountered adverse weather conditions. Due to the deteriorating visibility and weather, a decision was made to divert the flight back to Kaduna.
While performing the final approach, the aircraft suffered a simultaneous loss of power in both engines. In response to the dual engine failure, the pilot-in-command executed an emergency belly landing approximately 3 km before reaching the runway threshold. Although the aircraft type sustained damage that rendered it beyond repair, there were zero fatalities and all occupants were successfully evacuated from the wreckage without injury.
Findings
Investigations into the incident determined that the primary reason for the loss of power was fuel exhaustion, which led to the failure of both engines during the approach phase.
