An Aero contractors plane lost one of it’s tyres upon landing in Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
The plane which departed from Abuja had former FCT minister, Nasir el-Rufai, on board.
El Rufai shared his experience on his twitter page:
Upon landing in Lagos, our Aero aircraft lost a tyre. The pilot did a great job of breaking to a halt suitably. My phones flew under seats..

It was amusing hearing shouts of Allah Akbar and Jesus, Jesu while the dutiful captain was trying to slow the plane down to a safe location!

One of the passengers joked that he knew nothing would happen to us as I was onboard, nice of him, but Allah Decides our fate in His Way….

The Aero pilot was good, the cabin staff calm and professional in the midst of mild drama and little panic by a few passengers. We Thank God
