Three dead
bodies have as at now been recovered from the carcass of the helicopter
that crashed minutes ago a lagoon at the Oworosoki area of Lagos. THISDAY gathered that three persons who sustained varying degrees of
injuries were also rescued and rushed to different hospitals for
immediate treatment.
However it's yet unclear if the deceased and injured persons were onboard on the helicopter or pedestrians on ground.
The helicopter which crashed behind the King's palace was said to have caused pandemonium as the residents scampered to safety.
Although its still not clear if its a military, commercial or private
helicopter that crashed, the South-west Spokesperson for the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed the
casualty rate.
He said even as some of the primary and secondary responders responders are moving, three corpses have been recovered.
Speaking to THISDAY he said, "As at now, we don't know the identity of the chopper yet. Search and rescue operations continues."
