A Bell series passenger Helicopter belonging to Carveton returning from Scarabeo-3 rig (Yinka Folawiyo Aje Petroleum Services Ltd) offshore lagos, had an emergency
landing at MMI after shouting May Day! May Day!! May Day!!!

And eye withness from one of the passengers said one of the engines caught fire mid air shortly after leaving the rig.
The helicopter is said to be carrying 11 passengers two of the passengers are said to brothers from South Africa, with some other expat workers.
The crew is a black and a white pilot one is named Captain Hakeem.

Other companies has since faced out the use of this type of helicopter as they are out dated and old.
One of the expat staff came on board for the first time in Nigeria when the Bristow helicopter crashed in Oworonshoki area of Lagos state and the day he was going his chopper made an emergency landing.
He said he has never had an emergency landing since his 25 years of service in the North Sea and he vowed never to return to Nigeria.

The fire service truck and NAMA arrived before the helicopter arrived.
The crew was evacuated safely.......na Godwin

A beg in the rush to post, please ensure you put together an understanding one not one with stuttering errors

Am up

Can you imagine same Chopper went back to the same location on Thursday 15th but couldn't
land due to battery or button failure. They hover around the rig and returned back to base.

The worst part is that the management is hiding this whole thing from NCAA and other relevant authorities.
May God guild my people in the that rig, they shall all come out safely.
