According to Police Spokesperson Olabisi Ilobanafor, the flying object which flew into a home in Ibadan, Oyo State is a toy. She said investigation had shown that the electronic object was a Christmas gift for a child in the area.
She said the item was set flying to the glee of the child-owner but unfortunately crashed into a house within the neighbourhood.
According to THE NATION, Chairman, Ido local government, Professor Joseph Adeniyi Olowofela, accompanied by police, SSS and members of the Defence Corps yesterday recovered the flying object which fell on the roof of a house in Awotan in Ido local government.
He described a story published in a newspaper that an object crashed into the home of a resident as “ unfortunate and misleading,” saying there was nothing like a crash as reported and that it was untrue that the United States used the object as a spy.
The owner of the kite- like object, Sunday Folayan, an Electronic engineer and the vice president of Nigeria Internet Registration Association, also expressed shock at the reported crash.
He claimed to have produced many similar toys for his son in the past, explained that he was playing with his son with the battery- propelled toy when it got missing and efforts to retrieve it failed last Sunday.
“The weight of the toy is 0.8 kilogrammes with the shape of an I-Pad. It cannot run more than 15 minutes. It is not solar-panelled, but uses battery and it is remote controlled.” He said.
