In the meantime, the United States authorities have stated that witness reports indicate that it was raining when a helicopter crashed in California near the Nevada border on Friday. The crash resulted in the deaths of Wigwe, his wife and son, and Abimbola Ogunbanjo, a former Group Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group. Two other crew members also lost their lives in the tragic incident.

“Witness reports to the weather condition at the time of the accident suggest rain and a wintry mix,” said National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) member Michael Graham at a briefing on Sunday.
