Parents of Co-pilot Sowole who died in Bayelsa cry out ..

The Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos suburb home of the Sowoles was enveloped in gloom yesterday.
Parents of Navy Lt. David Adeyemi Sowole, 32, the co-pilot of the ill-fated Navy helicopter that crashed on Saturday sat forlorn at their 28, Akintoye Street home, mourning their son and breadwinner.
He died along with five others, including Kaduna State Governor Patrick Yakowa and ex-National Security Adviser (NSA) Gen. Owoye Azazi.
Lt. Sowoye got married on March 26, last year to Eniola. Their daughter, Teniola, was born barely nine months ago.

 

Late former governor of Kaduna state, Patrick Yakowa came to Oronto Douglas’ father’s burial in a private chopper he hired, but when leaving the venue, he abandoned the chopper he came in and decided to join Gen Azazi in a Navy helicopter en-route Port Harcourt. Five minutes into the return flight, the military helicopter exploded in the skies as it came down in flames, killing all the six people on board.

Scene of the crash

There are people who believe the crash wasn’t an accident; that it was a Northern conspiracy. The Navy said the helicopter was in great shape…the pilot was experienced…so why did the helicopter explode in the air? President Jonathan has ordered a probe into the crash
Quite a number of Muslim youths jubilated over Yakowa’s death on Saturday. Yakowa was Kaduna’s first Christian governor
