Azazi, Yakowa Killed By Human Error – Navy by Itohen: 12:42pm On Mar 08, 2013
he cause of the Nigerian Navy helicopter that crashed late last year, which led to the death of the former national security adviser, General Patrick Owoeye Azazi (rtd), Kaduna State governor Patrick Yakowa and four others, has been traced to either human error or material failure.

Azazi and Yakowa had on December 15, 2012, boarded the ill-fated helicopter on their way to Port Harcourt from Bayelsa where they had gone to attend the final funeral rites of the father of a special adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr Oronto Douglas, when the tragedy occurred.

The Accident Investigation Board (AIB) that was constituted by the Nigerian Air Force at the instance of the Nigerian Navy to ascertain the cause of the fatal crash involving the Nigerian Navy’s Agusta helicopter has submitted an interim report to the Naval Headquarters.

According to a statement issued by the naval authority in Abuja yesterday and signed by its spokesman, Commodore Kabiru Aliyu, the cause of the disaster has been traced to human error or material failure; he ruled out sabotage as being speculated in some quarters.

The Navy spokesperson said, “The Investigation which was conducted by aviation experts in collaboration with the manufacturers – Agusta Westland -- has stated that the cause of the crash could either be human error or material failure or a combination of both.

“However, to determine the actual cause of the crash, there would be the need to tear down the engine of the helicopter in order to carry out detailed forensic analysis. This aspect of the investigation will be carried out by Turbomeca, the manufacturers of the engine.

“It is important to emphasise that an independent police report has equally ruled out sabotage as a possible cause of the crash. Further information on the investigation would be made public when available.”

The sabotage theory came up when a section of Kaduna State was caught celebrating over the death of Governor Yakowa, the first Christian to be elected into the office in the state.

But Governor Yero is said to be working round the clock to disabuse the minds of those who hold that opinion.

Very shoddy and unprofessional procedings. It appears the foremost objective of the investigation was to rule out sabotage. What else will bring down an aircraft if not pilot's error, equipment malfunction and weather events. If it was sabotage it will relate to any one of three causes and that should be the primary focus of the investigation.

If there was any suspicion of sabotage the SSS and police should have handled that not the military since the victims were civilians on a civil mission. The military should not be answering such speculations thoughtless of conducting investigations because of such.

Let politicians play out their politics.

I don't know why people are so quick to paint Nigeria as a bad country. Which country in the world completes air-crash investigation in less than one year? This is just an interim report!

i strictly recommend that these 'investigators' take a 24hrs exclusive viewing of air crash investigation videos (on dstv's nat geo) to at least learn how air mishaps are investigated and reconstructed.
