While on “routine aerial patrol” the helicopter crashed into a residential area. Reports vary as to number of fatalities, but general consensus is 7 in the helicopter and 5 on the ground. Nigerian Police press release names four in the helicopter – DIG Haruna John the DIG In-charge of Operations, ACP Garba Yalwa – Pilot, CSP Alexander Pwol-Ja co-pilot and Sgt Sonatian Shirunam – orderly. One newspaper reports only a pig killed on the ground!
