The governor of Nigeria's Kaduna state has been killed in
a helicopter crash in the southern delta region along with other senior
officials, his party says. The helicopter was operated by the Nigerian Navy, an Agusta 109.
Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa and former national security adviser Gen Owoye Azazi were on the helicopter which came down in Bayelsa state.
Nigerian media said the helicopter belonged to the Nigerian navy and had been taking officials to Port Harcourt.
Aviation disasters remain common
in Nigeria, despite efforts in recent years to improve air safety.
Nigeria has a poor air safety record, analysts say.
In June, a Dana Air MD-83
passenger plane crashed into a neighborhood in the commercial capital of Lagos,
killing 153 people onboard and at least 10 people on the ground. It was
Nigeria's worst air crash in nearly two decades.
In March, a police helicopter carrying a high-ranking police official crashed in the central Nigerian city of Jos, killing four people.
