Four bodies
have been
recovered
from the
wreckage of
the helicopter
that crashed
into the
Lagos
Lagoon on Wednesday afternoon.
Six persons were rescued alive from the crash and rushed to the Lagos State
Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.
Two other persons are said to be missing among the 12 occupants of the ill-
fated helicopter.
The helicopter was said to be on its way from Ikeja, Lagos, before it suddenly
crashed into the swamp behind the Oworonshoki Police Station.
Policemen from the station and residents of the area told our correspondent
that a loud noise was heard from the helicopter as it flew over the area before it
crashed into the lagoon.
The National Emergency Management Agency, the Police, Lagos State
Emergency Management Agency and firefighters are involved in rescue
operation.
Three persons were initially pulled out of the wreckage while one more body
was pulled out a couple of minutes later.
The Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr. Ranti Adebule, visited the crash site but
said it was too early to guess the cause of the crash.
Meanwhile, security agencies have condoned off the area as residents and
visitors, who heard about the crash immediately swarmed the crash area.
The news of the crash has equally created a heavy traffic gridlock on the Third
Mainland Bridge, which overlooks the site of the crash.
