Herbert Wigwe: Ogunbajo’s family sue helicopter company
The family of Abimbola Ogunbanjo, former Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group), filed a wrongful death lawsuit on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, against US-based Orbic Air LLC, the charter company that operated the helicopter that crashed in Southern California in February.
Ogunbanjo was one of five people killed in the Helicopter accident. The lawsuit alleges that Orbic Air acted negligently by flying the helicopter despite hazardous weather conditions, including snow and rain, in the Mojave Desert on February 9th.
Ogunbanjo’s family contends that the flight should have been grounded due to the dangarous conditions.
The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and unspecified damages, including compensation for Ogunbanjo’s burial and funeral expenses.
It was filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court by Los Angeles law firm Robb and Robb, which also represented Vanessa Bryant in her lawsuit following the 2020 helicopter crash that killed her husband, Kobe Bryant.
