A domestic flight from Lagos to Kano was forced to abort its landing and return to its point of origin after encountering severe weather conditions and midair turbulence.

What was scheduled as a routine 1-hour and 15-minute flight stretched into a terrifying 3.5-hour ordeal for passengers onboard.  According to Adegbenga Olusegun, a passenger who recounted the experience, the aircraft approached Kano amid a heavy downpour. Landing became impossible after approximately 70% of the runway lights reportedly went shut off, forcing the pilot to make a U-turn back to Lagos. 

A video he recorded showed some of the passengers praying.

Olusegun’s post read; 

‘’Yesterday’s flight from Lagos to Kano turned into a terrifying experience. What should have been a 1-hour-15-minute journey became about 3 hours and 30 minutes in the air.

Heavy rain prevented us from landing in Kano, and with many runway lights reportedly going off, the pilot had to turn back to Lagos.

On the way back, the aircraft suddenly dropped and experienced extremely violent turbulence. People screamed and prayed. Two passengers reportedly fainted, while about three others lost control of their bladders.

What started as laughter quickly turned into fear and prayers.

Thankfully, we eventually landed safely in Lagos.

The experience was a powerful reminder that life is precious, and sometimes we have no choice but to surrender and trust God.
