Another LIB reader sent this in. There was a terrorist scare at MMIA today. Read the other one here
MedView airline and terrorist fear. We were about to take off from Lagos to Abuja on Medview flight 2108 11.15 am flight this morning. The plane was already on the runway when the pilot suddenly slowed down. We saw a man beside the wing of the plane carrying a black bag. As the plane moved forward, he tried to jump as if trying to grab something.
At first we thought it was an engineer but what will an engineer be doing beside a moving plane?
He tried this several times. As he tried for the fourth time to jump or hold maybe “throw the bag into the engine, the pilot saw him and turned on the engine to the highest. The wind blew him away, causing him to rumble and roll on the floor. He was burnt and severely bruised .
He stood up and ran to the other side of the plane limping. Two airport authorities ran towards him and he apprehended by airport security
We panicked and the pilot announced that the plane has been compromised, so we disembarked and we are waiting for the three o clock flight.

GOD will continue to protect us.
Good for proffesionalism of the pilot but where were the security agencies. Indeed that operation was compromised. There are different arms of security agencies at the Airport saddle with such responsibities . It’s very unfortunate that we are left with no options to believe that everything had been compromised with view of the capt decision.
This is a wake up call for all agencies responsible to tighten up their belts to join hand with government to fight this menace call boko haram before it over run us as nation.
