Fifteen minutes after takeoff, I saw the air hostess running, When I asked what was wrong, she said the engine was gone- FCT MInister Wike testifies in church after surviving plane crash

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has narrowly escaped a plane crash after one of the aircraft’s engines failed mid-flight.

In a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), Wike was seen recounting the terrifying experience. According to him, the incident occurred while he was flying from Port Harcourt to Lagos.

He explained that his wife had earlier traveled to Lagos to pick up their daughter and had safely landed at the Air Force Base. Wike then boarded a separate flight, but during the journey, the situation suddenly took a dangerous turn when one of the aircraft’s engines failed.

Narrating the ordeal, he said: “My wife went to Lagos to bring my daughter, they landed at the Air Force Base. I was waiting, so I said let me go to the Air Force Base. When they land, I’ll just enter a plane and go to Lagos.

He continued, “Fifteen minutes after takeoff, the air hostess was running. I asked what the problem was. She came back and told us one engine is gone.”
