Monday, 2 March 2026 - An eyewitness has detailed the tragic events that unfolded shortly after the helicopter carrying Emurua Dikir MP, Johana Ng’eno, and his colleagues crashed, killing all on board.

According to the witness, the pilot had expressed concern over poor weather conditions, noting the heavy fog and light drizzle.

Moments later, the helicopter allegedly struck trees and crashed, bursting into flames.

Locals rushed to the scene, managing to extinguish the fire and pull out the occupants.

One of the passengers was reportedly alive but succumbed to injuries about 30 minutes later.
