A helicopter bearing the markings of Aero Contractors which
mistakenly landed at Governor’s lodge of Enugu Government House yesterday at
around 10.30am has been seized. The pilot and the crew members of the
helicopter were also detained at the government lodge for alleged security
breach.
The crew members upon interrogation said the helicopter mistook
the Government House for the State House of Assembly complex from where they
were meant to convey the corpse of a deceased member of old Anambra State House
of Assembly, Sir Andrew Umeoji.
They were later handed over to the police for further
interrogation. Read the press statement by the Chief Press Secretary to
the Governor, Mr. Chukwudi Achife on the incident after the cut.
