The accident had killed the two pilots, two aides as well as Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna and General Andrew Owoye Azazi, a former National Security Adviser.
Falana in an interview noted that although President Goodluck Jonathan and other government officials have visited families of General Azazi and Governor Yakowa, such gesture has not been extended to the other families.
The Lagos lawyer said: “Since the naval chopper which crashed in a swampy location in the Nimbe local government area of Bayelsa state on Saturday, December 16, 2012 killing all the six people on board the impression has been conveyed by the Federal Government that only two people- General Andrew Owoye Azazi and Governor Patrick Yakowa lost their lives”.
“Notwithstanding that some members of the families of the deceased pilots and aides have complained of official neglect the Federal Government has not deemed it fit to commiserate with them for losing their loved ones in an avoidable plane crash” Falana added.
