BREAKING! Emir Of Kano, Others Escape Death As Plane Suffers Engine Failure On Air

Daily Nigerian is reporting that many air passengers, including the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado-Bayero, have escaped death after an aircraft heading to Abuja from Kano developed engine failure, 10 minutes after take-off.

According to the report, the plane with the number VM1645 which was slated for take-off 1.30 pm had about a 30 minutes delay.

The aircraft later took off around 2:00 pm with passengers filled to the brim. It was gathered that 10 minutes after the take-off, the aircraft began to swerve around the air until it made a detour for an emergency landing. Sources said the incident was allegedly caused by an engine failure, just as others attributed the incident to a bird strike.

Narrating the incident, one of the passengers, Dr. Samaila Suleiman, said it was a near-death incident, accusing the airline operators of negligence. Sulaiman disclosed that he heard a strange sound when the aircraft was taking off but dismissed any strange feeling of insecurity.

The airline is yet to speak on the matter at the time of filing this report.
