The country's authorities and police have not yet responded to the incident. On February 11, a helicopter crashed on the border of California and Nevada in the United States. As a result, six people were killed, including the director of the Nigerian bank Access Bank, Herbert Wigwe, as well as his wife and son. The Daily Post reports this with reference to a former senator from the state.
