Nanuwa Adebayo, the flight’s pilot who announced the mechanical fault in the said it was a sensor problem, which was not giving correct information.
According to him, he needed to return back to Lagos which he did after another fifteen minutes.
However, out of fear and apprehension, three passengers disembarked, while the Journey continued there after. The 6.45 am flight eventually landed in Abuja at about 9.12am.
Meanwhile, an aviation insurance expert onboard the flight, Sunny Adeda told BusinessDay that sensor fault is a mechanical problem.
He noted that it was a right decision by the pilot to have made a return since where he was going was farther than where he was coming from.
Adeda said such mechanical fault could affect landing if its managed for too long because speed will be difficult to control.
He stated that after the repair the flight was safe to fly.
