A helicopter owned by the Nigerian Air Force crashed in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Friday.
The development was verified in a statement released on Friday by NAF spokesperson Edward Gabkwet.
According to him, the NAF MI-35P helicopter crashed at precisely 7:45 a.m., just after it took out for an operation targeting economic saboteurs in Rivers State.
He further stated that everyone onboard survived and sustained “minor injuries.”
Gabkwet added that they are being attended to at the NAF Medical Centre, Port Harcourt.
“The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Hasan Abubakar, is currently en route to Port Harcourt to access the situation for himself, see to the wellbeing of the crew, and give further directives,” the statement partly read.
