escaped death, Saturday, when the aircraft failed to land after
hovering in the Benin airspace for about 15 minutes.
The incident caused panic in Benin-City as people immediately
evacuated their homes, fearing that the plane might crash-land.
The flight flew back to Lagos after it failed to land at the airport.
One of the passengers on board, who craved anonymity, disclosed that
some "passengers fainted due to fear."
The passenger continued: "We thought it was going to be another crash.
We were hovering round the Benin airspace but we could not land. Of
course people were shouting the name of Jesus until we were taken back
to Lagos".
A source at the Benin airport said the pilot may have failed to get
landing clearance from the control tower. The Benin Airport Manager,
Mr Segun Ayodele, he said he was unaware of the incident when
contacted last night.
