An aircraft passenger has revealed that the plane he boarded from Abuja to Benin city couldn’t land in Benin airport due to power outage at the airport.
The runway lights were off at the point the plane was suppose to land

A friend of mine was on that plane and described the terrifying ordeal when the Pilot attempted to risk landing the plane without the run way lights.

The passenger didn’t shy away from expressing his displeasure at the unfortunate incident while also taking swipe at the state of the nation.

Maybe the country is cursed

Earlier this month, the runway light of Lagos airport failed and flights were diverted to Accra Ghana.

Just beginning of this week a plane going to Akure caught fire on air. They had to quickly land it to avert accident.

Just this morning we woke up with the news that Lagos airport terminal was flooded as a result of licking roof undecided

BIG LIE!!

It’s mind-boggling the extent to which some people go just to garner social media attention.

The air peace flight in question returned to Abuja due to weather-induced poor visibility — and NOT lack of light.

Heavy rains have been falling in Benin over the last few days. On that very same day, a Max Air flight did a flyover because of same poor visibility issues.

The pilot hovered around Benin airspace in a holding pattern until visibility was better. Then he landed.

So I don’t know how that passenger came up with his “no light” story.

For one, when seated in the fuselage and the plane has aligned with the runway for landing, you can’t see the runway. So how can you know if the runway lights are on or not?

For two, Benin airport runway lights are solar powered.

This passenger’s claim is proof that you shouldn’t believe everything you read on social media.

You mean APC. Cos APC is the only reason we don't have light due to their ineptitude. Guess who's their National Leader? Tinubu.

What A Intelligent Pilot. It is better to fly back than risk landing the plane.
