NNPC Continues Search for Bodies After Port Harcourt Helicopter Crash
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has provided an update on the ongoing search efforts following Thursday’s tragic helicopter crash in Port Harcourt.
The crash, involving a helicopter operated by East Winds Aviation, left three people confirmed dead, with their bodies recovered from the damage.
However, NNPC confirmed that despite thorough search and rescue operations, no additional bodies have been found so far.
In a statement shared on their X account, Olufemi Soneye, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, expressed deep sympathy for the families affected by this incident.
He assured the public that the search for any remaining passengers continues, with NNPC actively collaborating with rescue teams and relevant authorities.
The crash has shaken Port Harcourt and raised questions about air safety, particularly in helicopter services within the oil-rich Niger Delta region.
East Winds Aviation, the operator of the flight, provides essential air transportation for companies operating in remote and challenging environments, often transporting personnel and goods to onshore and offshore oil facilities.
As search teams continue their work, the families of those still missing wait anxiously for answers.
NNPC has reassured them of its unrelenting efforts to locate their loved ones and bring closure to this sorrowful chapter.
The company has requested the public’s thoughts and prayers, emphasizing that in such moments, community solidarity and support mean more than ever.

Nigerians now have a new choice when it comes to making calls and browsing the internet. A new telecom company called LEBARA has launched in the country with a new idea. Instead of the usual airtime system that most networks use, this company is offering something different, subscribers will now buy call minutes and data directly.
What makes this different is that customers will only pay for what they actually use. If you buy 100 minutes, those minutes are yours until you use them up. If you make a call that lasts only 30 seconds, the rest of your time remains, leaving you with 99 minutes and 30 seconds. Nothing is taken away without your knowledge, and every second is accounted for.
The company is rolling out its services with the new 0724 number series, and it already has connections with all the major networks in Nigeria. This means subscribers will be able to call friends, family, and business contacts across MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile and others without any problems. They have also been licensed as a Tier 5 Mobile Virtual Network Operator, which is the highest category approved by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Company officials explained that the goal is to give Nigerians more freedom, fairness, and transparency. For years, people have raised concerns about airtime being deducted too quickly or without clear explanation. By introducing a minutes-based model, the new operator wants to end that problem once and for all. Subscribers can clearly see what they paid for, how much they have used, and what is left.
