The family of the late former Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, who died in February 2024 in a helicopter crash in California, has filed a lawsuit against the US helicopter company.
The former Chief Executive Officer of Access Holdings, Dr Herbert Wigwe, his wife and son were also onboard the ill-fated helicopter that crashed in California near the Nevada border, United States of America.
The Ogunbanjo family, in the court filing on Wednesday, April 10, stated that the flight should have been grounded because of “treacherous weather.”
Ogunbanjo’s family claimed that the charter company, Orbic Air, improperly flew the helicopter despite a “wintry mix” of snowy and rainy conditions in the Mojave Desert where the crash occurred on Feb. 9, the Press Enterprise reports.
