Plane scare

A British Christian was removed from a flight by police, after a passenger saw a WhatsApp conversation about prayer on his phone, it was reported in February.

Laolu Opebiyi, a Nigerian-born business analyst who now lives in London, was reported as a security threat after a passenger had looked over his shoulder and misread the title of the WhatsApp group, ‘Isi men’, as ‘Isis men’. Mr Opebiyi, 40, was then removed from the plane at Luton airport by armed officers and questioned about his faith.
