The National Security Adviser, NSA, Mr Sambo Dasuki has expressed his deep condolences to the family of his immediate predecessor, Gen. Andrew Owoeye Azazi and that of the former governor of Kaduna state, Patrick Yakowa who lost their lives along with their aides in an helicopter crash in Bayelsa state last weekend.
A statement from the office of the NSA said Mr Dasuki had already called and spoken with Mrs Alero Azazi over the death of her husband and his friend/regular 12 course mate.
The statement described as blatant falsehood some media reports indicating that the NSA was involved in the crash.“We wish to state that the NSA, Mr Sambo Dasuki was not part of that flight that crashed because he has been out of the country on national assignment.”
