Jakes Oyilom shared his story of narrowly avoiding a tragic plane crash, which occurred on December 10, 2005, when Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 went down at Port Harcourt International Airport. This incident claimed the lives of 108 individuals, including 60 students from Loyola Jesuit College and televangelist Bimbo Odukoya.
Reflecting on this event, he expressed gratitude for the five-minute delay that kept him from boarding the doomed flight.
“Today marks another 10th of December—a date that brings reflection for me, as it has for the past 19 years,” he expressed emotionally, commemorating the 19th anniversary of the accident.
“It’s also my birthday!!!!!! But WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT GOD???
“I genuinely thank God for preserving my life. I have traversed dark times, faced many struggles, and by the grace of the God of Jacob, I have overcome.
“I vividly remember that day, December 10, 2005, when a five-minute delay was God’s way of saving me.
“That delay on my journey to the airport in Abuja prevented me from boarding the Sosoliso Airline flight that departed from Abuja and tragically crashed in Port Harcourt. All Glory and Praise to you alone, God.”
