The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced that five persons from Thursday’s helicopter crash were still missing.

The NNPCL confirms that just three dead bodies out of eight persons on the ill-fated crash have been found.

The latest announcement contradicts reports suggesting that two additional bodies were discovered on Friday, in addition to the three recovered on the day of the incident.

However, in a statement on Sunday, the NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, confirmed that no further bodies had been found.

“The NNPC Ltd wishes to announce that, beyond the three bodies found in the ill-fated helicopter operated by East Winds Aviation that crashed on Thursday in Port Harcourt, no other bodies have been recovered,” Soneye said in the statement.

“The Company further notes that intensified search and rescue operations for the remaining individuals, in conjunction with relevant authorities, are still underway.

“Once again, our hearts and prayers are with the families affected by this unfortunate incident,” he added.

Soneye had announced on Thursday that a helicopter carrying six NNPC officials crashed along with two crew members.

The East Wind Aviation helicopter, with Registration Number 5NBQG, reportedly took off from Port Harcourt NAF Base en route to the FPSO – NUIMS Antan.
