VIDEO: NSIB To Release Final Report On Port Harcourt Helicopter Crash This Year

The final report on the helicopter crash that occurred on October 24, 2024, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, will be released before the end of 2025, according to the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB).

Speaking on Channels Television’s Newsnight programme on Monday, NSIB Director General, Capt. Alex Badeh Jr, confirmed that the investigation is nearing completion.
“We’ve gotten to the bottom of it. The final report should be out sometime this year. We pretty much have an idea of what happened,” he said.

The helicopter, with registration number 5NBQG, was operated by East Wind Aviation and chartered by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL). It crashed along the waterways in Port Harcourt.

The aircraft had taken off from the Port Harcourt Military Base (DNPM) and was headed to the FPSO – NUIMS ANTAN oil rig. Eight people were on board—two crew members and six passengers—but only five bodies were recovered from the scene.
