People have been telling different version of how Sir Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa met his untimely death in Bayelsa.. Even though it might not change anything, but this was what happened.
His Excellency left kaduna on Saturday in the morning. He was driven to the kaduna airport where he took a chartered flight to Porthacourt. He was accompanied by elder Dauda Tsoho, the Chief Detail, the orderly, the protocol officer and Engr Bala, his Special assistant on politics. From Porthacourt, they took a chopper to okoroba in Bayelsa state for the burial. All the choppers conveying people were using the community's primary school as a landing pad. Immediately after the burial programme, His Excellency, the governor of Bayelsa state who was sitting alongside late PIY invited PIY to fly with him in his chopper to Porthacourt. PIY agreed to but later on told the Governor of Bayelsa that since he came with about four other people, he will wait for the chopper that will convey them back together to Port. Seriake Dickson then left. From there, late PIY , together with Azazi went to the House of Oronto Dauglas. They were in the house when Azazi stood upto go and then invited Governor Yakowa to come with him in his chopper. Yakowa initially said no, explaining that the chopper that will convey him should be coming soon,but later agreed to go with Azazi to Port. Governor Yakowa then asked his police oderly to come with him, but later on asked Dauda Tsoho instead to follow him in Azazi's
chopper left and some few minutes, the chopper that was to convey Governor Patrick Yakowa came and the the protocol officer, the police oderly and the Chief Detail and Engr Bala got on board. The chopper lifted and after about 10 minutes they saw smoke billowing from a distance. They didn't know the source of the smoke but they kept flying. On getting close to Port Hacourt, their pilot got a radio message that the port Hacourt control had lost radio contact with the helicopter that took off before them. There were asked to go and check the smoke they earlier saw. They flew back and dropped lower when they sighted the smoke. They dropped lower and realized that it was indeed a chopper that had crashed. they couldnt land because of they swampy nature of the ground. They radio back to Port and flew back. The first rescue helicopter that came also couldn't land. They had to go back and land somewhere, mobilized some people who know the area and then started the rescue effort. The bodies were later retrievedand taken to port, then Bayelsa. Governor PIY was not seriously burnt as some are saying. His fon was even ringing while his body was being retrieved. The money in his pocket wascompletely untouched by the fire. The impact of the crash must have stunned them, and the fire had a field day when help didn't come immediately due to the swampy natureof the terrain. People have been bandying a lot of conspiracy theories on how and why PIY was killed. I really don't know whether it is true or not. But one thing I know is that God Almighty doesn't make a mistake. If he had wanted to keep PIY alive he would have done so. Our consolation is to take solace in the fact that God knows why he allowed this tragedy to happened at this time when PIY is most needed. May we come out stronger from this tragedy and may God gradually make us to understand why He did what He did in Jesus name. Thank you
