Aero Contractors flight NIG127, a Boeing 737-400, departed Lagos-Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Nigeria, for Abuja Airport with five crew members and 141 passengers onboard.
While the aircraft was climbing through FL060; the lead cabin crew member called the cockpit to alert the captain that a passenger noticed a "tear" on the right wing.

At 15:31 hrs, the aircraft landed safely on runway 18R. The Captain stated that on landing, there was severe vibration during the landing roll at high speed, and that the vibration stopped at taxi speed. Another aircraft taxiing to the holding point of runway 18R reported an observation to the Tower, that 5N-BOB had one of its tyres damaged.
