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.
