Midway into the journey, the MAD men overpowered both crew and passengers, and hijacked the plane.

“After several attempts to coerce the pilot to re-route the flight to Frankfurt, Germany, in a protest showing their dissatisfaction for the series of events that followed the June 12 elections that democratically elected Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, MKO Abiola, as the Nigerian president-elect.
