The Nigeria Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) have confirmed the recovery of two more bodies from the Sikorsky S- 76 helicopter crash in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Three persons were initially confirmed dead following the helicopter crash on Thursday which consisted of six passengers and two crew members on board.
Hours after the crash, the NSIB said more bodies have been recovered, making it a total of five bodies all together. However, three more persons are yet to be found
“We have recovered two more bodies, making it a total of five. There are three more down there that hopefully will be recovered today,” NSIB Director General Alex Badeh said on the Friday edition of Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily.
When asked if there are chances that none of those on board the aircraft survived the crash, Badeh said, “Unfortunately. this time, that is the working theory”.
According to Badeh, investigators are on their way to the scene of the accident, saying it would take days for the wreckage of the aircraft to be recovered.
