All the eight members in the helicopter perished in the crash
An Aviation Accident Investigator and Aeroscience Expert, Professor Kwasi Adjekum, has explained in an interview that various scientific data is being collected and collated with evidence from the crash site to create a simulation.
This, he said, is in order to determine the exact cause of the helicopter crash that took the lives of eight persons on August 6, 2025.
According to the aeroscience expert, to be able to come up with the exact cause of the accident, records of data from the field, the flight data recorder, and corporate voice recorder will be assembled in proper order as well as physical evidence from the crash site.

This, he said, will help them create a simulation and determine unknown details of the accident.
“The field data, the flight data recorder, corporate voice recorder, will be triangulated and justified with evidence on the crash site and that will help us…” he said on Channel One TV.
He explained further that among key hypothesis being considered is the assumption that the helicopter must have crashed into a tree.
This, according to him, was because of widespread assumption that the aircraft was not flying at the expected 4000 meters above the ground level.
The professor, who has over twenty-four years of experience as an aeroscience expert, said; “If it hit a tree, most of the time, you will see the first cut… Even though some of the trees will be consumed by post-crash fires, it is tell-tale.

“You will see the angles at which the blades must have contacted the tree. These are the things we are looking out for in the field examination, to identify and note in some of the capture mass.”
