He explained that the helicopter was operated by East Winds Aviation, adding that there were 8 persons on board (6 passengers and 2 crew members).

Soneye revealed that the appropriate authorities have been contacted, including the Ministry of Aviation, who have since issued a press statement.

He said, “Search and rescue missions are currently ongoing. So far, three (3) bodies have been recovered.

Soneye assured that NNPC Limited will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide regular updates as events unfold.
