A Christian group has denied reports linking the ownership of a private jet involved in a risky maneuver in Asaba, Delta State to Dunamis International Gospel Centre.
According to the Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) various reports pinning the ownership of the aircraft on Dunamis was “false, baseless, and malicious.”
“We categorically state that Dunamis International Gospel Centre does not own any private aircraft. Any suggestion linking the church to ownership of the aircraft in question is false and misleading,” the CCYF said in a statement signed by its Convener, James Paul Adama
“The narrative being circulated is a fabrication and represents a reckless attempt to misinform the public and damage reputations without basis,” the group added.
Meanwhile the NCAA said the aircraft had been grounded; it was not registered for commercial purposes and it was being piloted by a 70 years old man identified as Chris Baca, a Pakistani citizen.
According to the NCAA he is under arrest and being investigated for contravening aviation rules which limits the flying age of pilots to 65 in Nigeria.
The plane had missed the Asaba Airport runway and landed on a road under construction in Ogwachukwu. After the passengers safely disembarked, the plane took off again without clearance from the Asaba Airport control tower.
