President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with families, friends and associates of victims of the Bell 206 helicopter operated by Quorum Aviation which crashed Friday into a building in Opebi, Lagos State.
Two people lost their lives in the crash while the third victim was rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Ikeja where he is receiving treatment.
All three were crew members of the airline. The aircraft itself was flying from Port-Harcourt to Lagos when it crashed between two buildings in Ikeja en-route to Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos.
A statement by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, on Friday said, “While the nation awaits report of investigation into the accident by aviation regulatory agencies, the President prays that God will console the bereaved families, grant peace to the souls of the dead and speedy recovery for the injured.”
