A Kenya Airways plane destined for South Africa was on Wednesday forced to abort to take off following a false bomb alert at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi.
Commotion is said to have begun when a passenger shouted the word bomb inside the said plane that was getting ready for take-off.
