The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) had begun probe into the Bristow helicopter that gone down into the lagoon in Lagos.
This comes just as local divers and fishermen in Oworonshoki commenced searching desperately for the two remaining passengers.
The source said that the participation of the fishermen “is more effective than anything government agencies can do in this matter because they (local divers) know the terrain more than any other person.”
The chopper, registration number 5N-BDG, crashed near the Third Mainland Bridge with 12 people on board.
Tunji Oketunbi, the bureau’s general manager, public affairs, said that Felix Abali, AIB commissioner, is leading the team of investigation.
At least, four people died and six wounded in the crash.
The incident occurred about 3:30pm on August 12, Wednesday.
Onimode Abdullahi, South-West Coordinator of National Emergency Management Agency, said the four corps had been transported at the Mainland General Hospital mortuary.
But Michael Akindele, general manager of Lagos NEMA said the agency could not confirm the exact figure of the passengers.
