June 27, 2021 – Ethiopian Airlines B787 Dreamliner aircraft has reportedly been hit by thunder lightning in Togolese capital Lome on approach to landing.
In a dramatic twist of events, authorities in Togo have invited traditional leaders in the area to perform rituals “to cleanse the aircraft of evil spirits”.
Photos circulated on social Saturday evening show a group of people dressed in traditional attires and walking right in a grounded aircraft without vetting crew at the entrance, an indication that no normal onboarding was taking place.
Verification and fact-checking tool used by Nyamilepedia showed that the photos were real and obtained and posted on Twitter Friday by Patrick Koluyu, a humanitarian actor in the township of Edison in New Jersey, the United States.
The images, posted in different dimensions, were not republished on any other platform but retweeted multiple times. Nyamilepedia contacted Ethiopian Airlines for further verification but with unsuccessful attempts.
