The family of Abimbola Ogunbanjo, former Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group), filed a wrongful d+ath lawsuit on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, against US-based Orbic Air LLC, the charter company that operated the helicopter that cr+§hed in Southern California in February.
Ogunbanjo was one of five people k+lled in the Helicopter acc+dent.
The lawsuit alleges that Orbic Air acted negligently by flying the helicopter despite haz+rdous 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 dang+rous conditions.
The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and unspecified dam+ges, including compensation for Ogunbanjo’s burial and funeral expenses. It was filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court by Los Angeles law firm Robb & Robb, which also represented Vanessa Bryant in her lawsuit following the 2020 helicopter crash that killed her husband, Kobe Bryant.
