REVEALED: The cause of VP Osinbajo's chopper crash

Caverton Helicopters, the manager of the crashed aircraft which was carrying Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, and other government officials, on Saturday afternoon, has attributed “unusual weather conditions” to the cause of the crash.

A memo made available to SaharaReporters noted that the crashed helicopter was managed by the company.
The memo, which was personally signed by Captain Josiah Choms, Managing Director of Caverton Helicopters, noted that the Augusta AW139 Helicopter was involved in the crash-landing in Kabba, Kogi State, around 3pm. Choms, however, said the helicopter company had informed the relevant authorities on the crash, adding that they were investigating the incident.
The memo read in part:
“There were no injuries to the passengers or crew onboard and they were all quickly and safely evacuated. “The relevant authorities have been duly informed and an investigation into the incident has commenced. We will, of course, support the authorities as required. “We wish to re-assure the public and the various stakeholders of our unwavering commitment to safety in all of our operations.”
