Onyegu has latched on to claims that a mysterious aircraft was hovering above the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) compound in the minutes preceding the tragedy. The plane in the first place was not an ordinary air plane, said Onyegu, from southern Delta state. According to write-ups on the Internet, it was a C-130 Hercules jet, he told AFP outside the court.That would not be an ordinary aircraft, indeed.
IIRC, the C-130 is a turboprop with no hover capability.

Shrug, maybe it was a Osprey.
