The entertainers including Tekno, Flavour, and comedian Gordons, with their band boys and other colleagues were said to be on their way to Ghana for a show when the aircraft they were on board developed a fault.
In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Gordons, who broke the news, revealed that their plane had taken off from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport safely.
But some few minutes into the trip, it was announced that the plane had developed a fault so they had to return to Lagos.
He revealed that he together with his colleagues were all scared and kept praying to God to avert a possible crash.
God, Gordons said, listened to their prayers and so they landed safely at the airport until another flight was arranged for them to fly back to Accra.
