Passengers scream "Jesus!, Allah!" as Aero aircraft loses control in air

Aero aircraft develops fault while in air with 120 passengers on board. The aircraft was said to have suddenly lost altitude, 20 minutes after it departed the domestic wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos, forcing the aircraft to wobble in the air for over one hour before it was eventually diverted to Abuja.

Prof. Ishaq Akintola, also on board, said "many passengers shouted and some fainted. People started prayers upon prayer, some shouted Allah and others Jesus".
