Convoy of Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, was on Sunday involved in an accident around Sapade-Ajebo stretch at about 9.30am along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
A commercial bus loaded with foodstuffs, coming from the Ibadan end had rammed into one of the vehicles in the convoy occupied by some of the aides of the governor.
The damaged vehicle was reportedly taken back to Abeokuta.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, said there was no casualties and the governor is hale and hearty.
He said, “The accident only involved one of the vehicles at the rear of the convoy. The governor is alive. All other officials are alive. It was just a minor thing.
“We are already in Ekiti for the inauguration of the new Government House built by Governor Fayemi. Please, help us tell the people that the Governor is alive. The calls have been coming from people asking after his welfare.”
Further checks by NigerianEye however revealed how the accident happened.
NigerianEye gathered that the governor’s convoy was heading towards Ibadan, while the rickety bus was coming from Ibadan before they had a head-on collision.
NigerianEye learnt that the accident occurred at a spot where construction works were going on, forcing motorists to use only two of the four-lane road.
It was also gathered that the driver of the commercial bus reportedly lost control when he faced the governor’s convoy on the narrow road and rammed into the convoy.
According to the eyewitness, the occupants of the commercial bus, mainly women and children, sustained injuries.
The source said immediately the accident occurred, the governor alighted from his vehicle to sympathise with victims. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
