The taxi that rammed into an airplane in Calabar

















I'm sure you all heard about this incident that happened last week in Calabar, Nigeria.
But just in case you didn't - here's the story.

About 2.35 pm on the 31st of March, a taxi with registration number Cross River XA 254 KMM, painted with the state’s taxi colour of blue-white-blue, rammed into an aircraft at the tarmac at Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar, Cross River State. The driver went through the gates without any resistance, and drove straight to the tarmac and hit the underbelly of the plane.

There were about 200 passengers on board the aircraft and they were successfully evacuated.

The driver of the Taxi was arrested and handcuffed by security agents. Upon his arrest, the driver claimed that his mission was to blow up the plane and the passengers since according to him, Nigerians are unrepentant sinners. The man, whose name is yet to be made known, spoke in one of the dialects of neighbouring Akwa Ibom State. “Jesus is the redeemer. Everyone should repent and follow him because I will come back and complete the attack,” he said.

Nigeria is not a terrorist nation.
We just have some mentally deranged individuals...like every other country has :-)
