NEMA Speaks On Oworonsoki Plane Crash Drama
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has denied the widespread rumour insinuating that a plane flying into Lagos state from Gabon had crashed in the Oworonsoki area of the state.
The rumour of the supposed plane crash broke few hours ago and triggered anxiety while the unfounded report has so far become a point of discussion on the social media.
A source from NEMA who spoke with Naij.com refuted the claim and reiterated that no plane crash occurred in the area.
According to the source, a mock search and rescue exercise were only carried out by the police and aviation authorities in the area. Hence, no cause for alarm.
He further explained that the agency gathered that a drill which involved helicopters and a group of policemen and rescuers took place around the area.
On Wednesday, August 12, 2015, the management of Bristow Helicopters Limited confirmed the crash of one of its aircraft in the Oworonshoki area of Lagos.
Six people reportedly died in the crash while six others were rescued by emergency officials.
