On 25 October1993, a Nigerian Airways flight from Lagos to Abuja was hijacked by four teenagers calling themselves the Movement for the Advancement of Democracy (MAD).

They demanded the removal of the military-backed government, who had annulled the results of that year's election.

The plane was forced to land in Niger and later stormed after a protracted hostage crisis.

Obed Taseobi was a passenger on the flight. He tells his story to Jill Achineku.
