Eyewitnesses said the pilots appeared to have sighted a space at the swampy mangrove, few metres to the crash site, and made some efforts to land the ill-fated helicopter.
In an unclear circumstance, the helicopter was said to have attempted going up again but in the process, its blades hit one of the palm trees surrounding the area and it came crashing.
It was learnt that Yakowa’s mobile telephone was intact as it kept ringing after the crash.
“When we brought the body out, we started hearing sounds of phone ringing from the left side of his pocket.
We later discovered that calls were coming to the telephone and it could be from concerned persons but no one answered,” a security source, who pleaded anonymity, said.
