Usually, during prayer sessions at his church programmes, Primate Ayodele always releases prophecies for the country, international organisations, presidents, and sometimes asks his church members to pray about certain issues in the nation.
January 21, 2026, was one of these days when Primate Ayodele was leading a prayer session in his church and shared some prophecies with his members. Among these prophecies, he asked that they pray so that any plane would have an emergency landing in any of the airports in Nigeria.
While an emergency landing due to weather conditions or a bird strike is common in Nigeria, Primate Ayodele specifically said on this very day that it would be a serious emergency landing, which means it would not be about bird strike or weather conditions, it would definitely be serious.
These were his words: “Let local flights in Nigeria pray against emergency landing that can be serious, that can cause panic.”
Apart from that, in his 2026 prophecies, which were released in December 2025, Primate Ayodele warned the aviation industry to pray against any form of emergency landing.
“Let us pray that no aeroplane will experience emergency landing. I foresee a jet will crash within the Nigerian airspace. I foresee the FAAN will ground some airplanes that are not air worthy. Let us pray for all CEO of Airlines operating in Nigeria for protection.”
Yesterday 11th of February 2026, Nigeria would have been thrown into mourning if not for the mercy of God, who preserved the lives of about 80 passengers on an Arik Air plane which was going to Port-harcourt and had to land in Benin.
There was panic among passengers of an Arik Air flight from Lagos to Port Harcourt on Wednesday morning when the aircraft was diverted after developing an engine issue mid-flight.
The airline confirmed that its Boeing 737-700 aircraft, registered 5N-MJF, operating Flight W3 740, was descending into Port Harcourt International Airport, Omagwa, when the flight crew heard a loud bang from the left engine.
In videos seen after the incident, the engine was visibly blown, with passengers praying and speaking in tongues after experiencing the near death experience.
