It’s been 10 years since the Sosoliso air crash that took the lives of 103 people on the spot. 7 others were rescued but in the end, only two people survived.

One of those two persons is Kechi Okwuechi. Then, Kechi was a student of Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja. She was on board with about sixty secondary school students from her school who were on their way home from Abuja to Port Harcourt for the holidays.

She was once quoted to have said, “I remember just saying I don’t know, but I think we should pray or something, I don’t know. We actually never got a chance. That’s the last memory I have before I blacked out.” The next thing I knew, I was waking up in Milpark Hospital, South Africa. To this day I don’t remember the actual impact of the crash”.
