A police surveillance helicopter crashed in Jos today Wednesday March 14th, killing all four people on board, including a Deputy Inspector-General of Police, John Haruna. Others killed were the DIG's orderly, the helicopter pilot and an engineer. The helicopter crashed into a house, injuring but not killing anyone on the ground.
The helicopter had been deployed to survey some areas in Jos following Sunday's unrest in the city.

He was sworn in on the 2nd of March and now this. He didn't even relish in that role. So sad. I'm sure the helicopter was under-maintained. May they RIP.
He was a wonderful man, and an exceptionally hardworking police officer... Rest in peace sir, we will miss you.
What a pity. May their souls RIP.
May their souls Rest in Peace! #Colossal Loss!
may his soul rest in peace. pls policemen should do their work deligently and keep their hands clean so that when death comes calling, devil will not point an accusing finger
Heoow! Calamity upon calamity! lord pls visit ur children in the times of trouble such as this.
this boko haram menace is just consuming uncountable lives.
So sad
Its so sad. Death knows no face. Even the nicest and the purest are sometimes taken in its sweep. May God comfort their families and give them the heart to accept new beginnings. Amen
may God grant the families the heart to bear the pain
This is definitely a sad event. People working to secure the lives of others in a volatile place ended up sacrificing their own lives. If Jos refuse to be calm then state of emergency should be declared instead of wasting innocent souls on daily basis, now another lives is being wasted.If there is any issue, it should be settle from the parties involved and not the innocent ones. This is very sad. May the departed souls rest in peace. Police need newer, more capable, and better maintained equipment.
omg!!!!! this cant be true :'(
Linda u don dey carry last.na now u dey update us
QUITE A PITY. RIP JOHN HARUNA. YOU DIED IN ACTIVE SERVICE. POLICE SHOULD NAME ONE OF THEIR FACILITIES AFTER HIM. SOME DIGs WOULD DEPLOY THEIR MEN AND STAY IN THE OFFICE WITH THEIR GIRLFRIENDS WATCHING DSTV....

Among all inhabitants. I duff my hat for you sir... A hero in you I see and in all of you. RIP... We JOS pray that the Federal Government will wake up before we all die in this temporal abode we call home-Nigeria

Since I was born ('72) I never heard of such everyday bad-news of this country. It just too much to bear. To me, this regime is just bad-regime to NAIJA. God come and have your way, have mercy on us. To the DIG's family - may God comfort them to bear the unrepairable lost.
Wonderful and humble man with a wonderful family. May God COnsole his wife and Kids...J hold on God is in charge...
Pdp are bloodsuckers during objs tym twas plane crash now gej's tym boko haram nd all manner of calamity d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ r usin the blood of innocent nigerians
Dis is sooo sad! May their Soul rest in peace. Linda how r u? Well done dear!
The heart of man is desperately wicked.... all because he got a well deserved double promotion from CP to DIG they killed him.... He was even being interviewed for the position of IG too. We never want upright people in position of power in this country... He was one of the few police officers with high levels of integrity.... People would go any length to do evil forgetting God can go any length too to avenge his own..... I know the family well and a lot of families depended on him for their children's education..... The blood of the innocent has started crying out in this country.... God help us
