FCT Minister Nyesom Wike survives engine failure mid-air after takeoff

Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has recounted a harrowing experience on a recent flight when the plane lost one of its engines just 15 minutes after takeoff. Wike was traveling with two friends when the incident occurred, putting their lives at risk.

According to Wike, the aircraft, a Bombardier Global Express 5000/6000 series jet, suffered engine failure at an altitude of 34,000 feet.

The pilots worked to stabilize the plane and decided to return to the base in Port Harcourt. Throughout the ordeal, Wike was heard praying fervently, crediting prayer for their safe landing.

The minister shared this testimony during a church service, expressing deep gratitude for surviving what could have been a tragic accident. The plane ultimately landed safely without further incident.
