Wigwe, his wife, Doreen; their son, Chizi Wigwe; and former Nigerian Exchange Group Chairman, Abimbola Ogunbanjo, crashed in an Airbus EC130 helicopter close to the California-Nevada border near Halloran Springs.

The four passengers and two crew members on board the ill-fated helicopter died on Friday, February 9.

The images, released after Michael Graham, a board member with the NTSB, said they had visited the site and outlined the activities conducted on the first full day of investigation at the accident site, show NTSB officials observing the wreckage at the site.

Graham emphasised the agency’s commitment to a meticulous examination of the scene, saying the team conducted aerial drone mapping and documented the wreckage.
