This pilot, Captain Chika Ernest, deserves Nigeria’s highest honour. He flew the Quorum Aviation helicopter which crashed in the middle class Opebi, Lagos neighbourhood, Friday 28th August 2020.
The crash left 2 people dead and one critically injured.
Captain Chika, knowing a crash was inevitable, emptied the chopper’s fuel tank to avoid explosion on impact. He then crashed on a fence, deliberately avoiding the roof and houses to minimise casualties.
Himself died after being rushed to the hospital.
