The U-23 National Team on Sunday, escaped plane crash in Ghana. The Dream team VI were on their way to Gambia for a 10–day training program ahead of the 2nd Africa U-23 Cup of Nations taking place in Senegal.

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.

ARIK, however, provided another aircraft that flew the delegation to The Gambia through Dakar.
