Lagos State execute Governor, Babjide Sanwo-Olu hopes lessons have been learnt from Tuesday’s helicopter mishap while people responsible for the crash will be brought to book.
Fielding questions from reporters during his visits to crash site at Oba Akran on Tuesday evening, Sanwo-olu expressed gratitude to God and workers around the gas station near the crash site for their commendable role by preventing large scale disaster.
”The two passengers on board have been rescued. They are currently at a hospital and are receiving treatment as we speak.
”We do not know the cause of the helicopter crash. That would be done by experts at the NSIB, which is an investigative bureau.
”We could see that the crash site had been secured. All the wreckage has been evacuated and moved into a truck.
“It would be transported officially and handed over to the Nigerian Aviation Authority where I am sure necessary investigations would be done.
”We are thankful to all the residents and all of you that came out very quickly and were able to rescue the occupants. Thanks to workers at the fuel station because where the crash happened was a gas line.
”I am thankful to the two people I mentioned earlier and I am sure we are happy that while the unfortunate incident happened in the middle of the road, it has not led to any fatality,” he said.
The governor said official information from the Federal Airport Authority was also expected on the incident.
”We thank God, it wasn’t more than this. I am sure the investigation would reveal all of the things that have gone wrong and we are hoping that the people responsible will be held accountable at the end of the day,”
