According to reports, panic erupted among passengers when
the pilot announced that one of the plane’s engines was malfunctioning.
A passenger on the plane told Leadership that the plane took
off around 8:40 a.m., but a few minutes later, the pilot announced that he
needed to return to Abuja.
According to the passenger, those on board did not realise
the severity of the plane’s technical problems until it was nearly impossible
for the pilot to land safely in Abuja.
We later realised that the engine had serious issues like
hydraulic leakage or something like that. It was terrifying. Many people on
board started crying and saying their last prayers. But we managed to land back
in Abuja despite the difficulty encountered, the passenger narrated.
