The helicopter exploded, burst into flames before plunging into the creeks, killing the governor of Kaduna State, Patrick Yakowa, former National Security Adviser, Gen. Owoye Azazi and four others in Nigeria's fourth air disaster in 2012.
However, the question on the lips of many Christians in Kaduna is: 'Who killed Governor Patrick Yakowa?' This followed reports of jubilation in several Muslims dominated towns in Kaduna State as news of the governor's death broke on Saturday evening.
The fatal trip of the chopper, owned by the Nigerian Navy, which was to convey the governor and the former Security chief to Port Harcourt, enroute Abuja, was to be one of the helicopter’s last for the day.
But at about 2.30 p.m., minutes after takeoff, officials say, the chopper crashed, sparking an emergency crisis, and plunging a shocked nation back to fright and mourning. Many say they suspect foul play.
Although some notable individuals in areas where some misguided elements celebrated the death of their fellow human being (a Christian Governor) because of religious difference have condemned the act, many Christians are calling for a full inquiry into the incident, with a view to establishing the truth.
President Goodluck Jonathan, who described the death of both distinguished men as “extremely painful” for the nation, has also ordered an investigation into the crash.
Yakowa, Azazi and their aides, Dauda Tsoho and Mohammed Kama; and the pilots, Murtala Daba and Adeyemi Sowole, reportedly died in the inferno, having been badly burnt beyond recognition.

When was d last time d helcopter went for maintenance. Was d money allocated 4 maintenance used for what it was meant for?
ReplyDeleteCorruption is killing many Nigerians directly and indirectly.
U think white ppl r stupid when they ground their helicopters and air plane and give it a thorough maintenace?
That's why u rarely hear abt this type of nonsence. Corruption killed these fellows.
Another thing,was d copter flying above capacity?
There r standards for using these equipments u knoW. They don't fly on sentiments.
We are talkin about a military chopper here. It xploded in mid-air. It isn't a commercial airflyt
Deletesomebody is talking sense here. corruption is very rampant and well encouraged in goodluck' government than any before. he has to correct it before it caught up with him t j kano
ReplyDeleteWe are not yet one in Nigeria. The Muslims dont love the Christians and the Christian dont love the Muslims. We just live with ourselves in pretense
ReplyDeleteWaw.....Why wasting more money 4 d inquiry 4 what is very obvious?Its very clear that Governor Yakowa was murdured/assassinated by d muslin fanatic bicos he was a christian.This is one of d reason they should divide 9ja and let d hausa musiln go their own way bicos they don't like anybody who's not a muslin.Either their way or no way.Enough of these nonsense.GEJ is a big caword who's just there as a figure head watching d country busting into disaster.Its only a bloody revolution that can stop these mess and wipe these bastards away.
ReplyDeleteTrue talk Rev.You are very correct
DeleteNice talk Rev.You are 100% correct.We need revolution to wipe these bastards away and divide d country.Let d hausa go their own way.
DeleteWhen the rightous is in power the people rejoice but when the unrightous (GEJ) is in power the people will continue to cry. This is moment of reckoning for our leaders. A lot of them are still lined up, Chime, Imoke, Suntai eventhough they are still hiding those ones.
ReplyDeleteHmm nah wah o. Hope dis investigation won't be swept under †ђξ carpet wen d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ find out, Its one of dis top muslim pple. #so sad#
ReplyDeleteGood day people's of Kaduna,in fact Nigeria as a whole,i want to show my condolence to the death of Governor of Kaduna state, MAY HIS Soul REST IN PEACE.But for those that are jubileting for death of innocent soul should remember that dead is a rotational venture it can occure/happy to any body as far as we are living,why is only nigerian muslims are always against Christians their counter? Remember that we have Religious Dialogue,why you people always religion centiment,why Saudi arabia are not religion centimental and other arabs league nation? except you.Aman is bound to die at any moment and any time.ILIYA G.K
ReplyDeleteAre these pple called Nigns saying they want to revolutionised or liberates themselves with this their religious hatered & begotry
ReplyDeleteI bet it's suicide bombing. Defenately there's a foul play in this crash. D pilot
ReplyDeleteWho is ready to bell the cat? Are you ready to lead the movement for revolution? Inspite of the fact that Prophet T.B Joshua had foreseen these deaths yet, it could not be averted bcos it was destined. Corruption or not, we will all taste death. It is inevitable to all mortals. To those rejoicing,let them perpetuate themselves on earth if they can. Do they know the nature of death that will end them? The evil that men do lives after them, the good is interred in their bones. How do you want to be remembered when you are gone? Live is vanity. All the riches that we amass rightfully/wrongfully,we shall leave behind and give account one day! Take a lesson from these: deaths,live,wealth,riches,power,inflence etc. May God protect and stregthen the families of the departed souls and grant them eternal rest,amen.

ReplyDeleteThe wicked shall never go unpunished says the Lord let them rejoice their doom is coming.
ReplyDeleteThey were murdured bicos Gov. Yakowa was a christian who was hated by by d muslin fanatic while Azize was also hated by d majority members of PDP 4 saying d truth that BOKO HARAM is sponsored by PDP bicos of power strugle within d party.May their soul continue to hurt those who committed the crime.
ReplyDeleteYou are very correct Gen.Their soul will continue to hurt these bastard that committed this crime.
DeleteHe was a humble man may his soul find rest
ReplyDeleteMay thrie souls rest in peace, whosoever is mocking should go ahead with it, we all r debtors of death but how it will come we dont know.......... i pray for oneness of nigeria.
ReplyDeletethe truth her is that the person they want to kill is Azize bcos majority members of PDP hated him 4 saying d truth that BOKO HARAM is sponsored by PDP,and unfortunately the humble man Mr. Yakowa entered the same plain with Azize. anyone who is happy about the death of the Governor most be an hypo crate bcos 4 me he is the best governor w have ever had in Kaduna State.
ReplyDeleteto say the least, Nigeria will not divide and any one who is still habouring that notion is so out of touch with reality...no doubt we are reaping the fruits of corruption but going by the fact that Yakowa was the 1st christian governor since the creation of the state and ultimately due to the politics in nigeria military hyrachy Azazi subsequently being the 1st none nothern indegine to get that position in the military for over 50yrs of existence and the recent stakes in the polity after his comment of accusing the PDP of sponsoring BOKOHARAM, we are not far from the truth...these men were assasinated and to get the truth we need an independent investigation report to know the truth
