86-year-old United Kingdom-trained lawyer, Pa Oluwole Adewumi has narrated how his daughter and himself survived 1983 plane crash in Enugu.

Asewuni said himself and his daughter, who is currently a professor of Medicine in the USA and stays in Florida were the only two survivors of that plane crash.

He stated this during an interview with The PUNCH, where he narrated how they survived the plane crash.

He said; “It happened in 1983 when I was taking my daughter to school. We had a plane crash while flying from Lagos to Enugu. She just finished her school certificate then. She wanted to go for her HSC (Higher School Certificate) in Enugu, to be able to gain admission into 200 Level in the university. My daughter and I were the only two survivors of that plane crash. The plane crashed on November 28, 1983. All the national dailies at that time reported it. To God be the glory, the girl is a professor of Medicine in the USA today.”

Adewumi added; “I had earlier been told in our church that I would be involved in a plane crash and that we must observe certain prayers, which we did. The vision was seen about two months before the crash. The plane crash happened about 10 miles to Enugu.

“All I could remember during the crash was that we were in the bush and we heard some people, trapped in the plane shouting and crying. Suddenly the plane exploded and a fire began, so I couldn’t hear the sound of the people anymore. Shortly later, ambulances arrived at the scene. They packed the dead bodies while my daughter and I were taken to the Nsukka University Teaching Hospital.”
