Panic erupted online after a Nigerian woman shared her harrowing experience aboard an Air Peace flight that allegedly suffered a terrifying mid-air incident. In a viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter), the woman emotionally recounted how the aircraft began to descend rapidly mid-flight, saying passengers feared for their lives.

“Our plane nearly crashed. It kept crashing down with speed. At that point, it wasn’t the pilot who saved us—it was God,” she said through tears.

The unnamed passenger described waking up to the sensation of the plane violently dipping, sending passengers into panic as the aircraft lost altitude unexpectedly. Her post, first shared by user @General_Somto, quickly went viral, sparking fresh concerns over the safety of domestic flights in Nigeria.

While Air Peace has not officially confirmed the incident or issued a statement, this report follows closely after a separate July 13 incident in which an Air Peace aircraft veered off the runway in Port Harcourt. Though no casualties were reported in that event, the airline has faced growing scrutiny over its operational standards.

Social media users have flooded the platform with reactions, some sharing similar concerns about flight safety and demanding transparency from both Air Peace and aviation authorities.

Calls have grown louder for the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to urgently investigate the matter and publish a public report on the condition of the aircraft and what went wrong during the flight.

So far, there has been no official comment from Air Peace or the NCAA regarding this latest allegation.

As public concern intensifies, this latest near-miss is adding to mounting pressure on Nigeria’s aviation sector to prioritize passenger safety and improve emergency response protocols.
