Oh men. Hijacked helis ? Too many to make a list. Some examples
A decade or so ago, same thing in France to pick-up a high profile criminal from a prison near Paris.
Don't recall the outcome.

[a] Texaco helicopter hijacked
On Wednesday, November 11, 1998, armed Ijaw youths hijacked a helicopter belonging to the Texaco Overseas Petroleum Company Unlimited (TOPCON). The aircraft, with a crew of three, was carrying N8.5 million, [about $100,000] meant to pay the ransom for 8 kidnapped workers of the company. Among the kidnapped men are an American, a Briton and a South African.
The armed youth who also detained the crew ordered the pilot to change route from Warri to Bomadi, their operational base. This development comes in the heels of a similar kidnap operation last Sunday when 38 workers of Diamond "arrested" some foreign workers of TOPCON (TEXACO) and demanded N314, 000 each, as ransom. Neither Texaco nor the police would say how many workers were kidnapped but the police said they had arrested 28 of the kidnappers. [Source: P.M.News, Punch, and This Day]
