A chartered helicopter with vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, on board, has crashed at Kabba on Saturday.
The Augusta AW139 helicopter is managed by Caverton Helicopters.
Credible presidency source told DAILY NIGERIAN that the vice president, alongside his security detail, were on their way to Lokoja.
The source said all the passengers and crew on board survived the crash.
Laolu Akande, spokesman for Mr Osinbajo, did not respond to our reporter’s phone call but later confirmed in a tweet that the vice president and the crew were unhurt.
“VP Osinbajo’s Chopper crash lands in Kabba, but he and the entire crew safe,” Mr Akande posted.
“He is continuing with his engagements and plans for the day in Kogi State.”
*In the earlier rendered report, we erroneously said the vice president was on board a Nigerian Air Force helicopter. The error is regretted.
