Barely 24 hours after Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi, his wife and son died in a crash along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway. the deputy governor of Yobe state, Abubakar Ali, was on Monday involved in an auto accident along the Kaduna- Kano expressway.
A witness, Sunusi Abdul, told newsmen that the incident occurred in Daka-Tsalle town, along the expressway.
“The SUV he was travelling in had a head-on collision with a Toyota Avensis vehicle,” Mr. Abdul said. Fortunately, the deputy governor’s vehicle did not somersault, but the Toyota car was badly damaged and some of its occupants injured.”
Mr. Abdul, who said the accident occurred around 9:30 am, added that he also narrowly missed hitting Mr. Ali’s car.
He said the deputy governor’s convoy later continued its trip to Kano.
The accident happened a day after the Minister of State for Labour, James Ocholi, his wife and son died in a crash along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway.
Efforts to speak with the Yobe deputy governor was unsuccessful. He did not answer or return calls.
Source at the Government House in Damaturu however revealed that the accident occurred as Mr. Ali travelled to Kano for a condolence visit to the Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who lost his mother on Friday.
The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) is yet to comment on the accident.

It is unfortunate. RIP. This is calling on this clueless apc government to tale a clue from GEJ and do more road. If they have started working on these roads these great people would not have lost their lives since most of these roads in question are not in the best of shape.
