Nollywood actress, Uche Elendu and other passengers narrowly escaped death when an aircraft belonging to Arik Air reportedly crash-landed on Wednesday, January 12.
The aircraft was said to be on its way to Asaba, the Delta State capital from Lagos when the landing gear failed to come out and it had to return to Lagos. The passengers claimed the plane crash-landed in a remote location near the airport.
The actress took to Instagram to share her near-death experience while thanking God for saving their lives.
“What God cannot do does not Exist!!!! My covenant with God is strong and He never lies!! Thank you Jesus!!” she wrote.
“Arik @flyarikair God punish you and your ill-mannered crew with demonic tongues. The male air host told me at the beginning of the flight that I should put my box under the chair, that it will save me in case of a crash, I said stop talking negatively, we will not crash in Jesus name!!! Only Jesus can save me!!!
“He said there is nothing like Jesus. Keep fooling yourself and I said to him, only a FOOL says there’s no God. They freaking knew the aircraft was faulty!! Damn!!!!! Bring out my luggage let me go catch another flight. Lousy Bunch,” she added.
However, Arik Air has dismissed the claims made by the actress.
In a statement, the airline said: “One of our dash 8 Q-400 aircraft operating the Lagos-Asaba flight this evening made an air return to base due to a technical issue.
“The aircraft landed safely, and the Pilot in Command, in compliance with safety procedures, decided to disembark the passengers on the airside of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja. The aircraft was later taxied to the Arik Air hanger for maintenance action.”
