BREAKING NEWS: Governor Adams Oshiomole Involved In Serious Car Accident

Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole survived a
motor accident at Ewu Village along the ever-
busy Benin-Auchi road in Edo State at about
9.45am Saturday, 28th December 2013 on his
way back to Benin City from his Iyamho
Village.





The incident occurred at about 9.45am at Ewu,
in Edo Central Senatorial District, when a
Peugeot J5 Bus filled with tomatoes and
plantains apparently lost control and rammed
into the Governor’s Flag Car from the opposite
direction before swerving into a roadside ditch.
Three vehicles in the Governor’s convoy were
in front of the Governor’s Flag Car and had
passed the Peugeot J5 Bus before it [J5 Bus] had
direct impact with the Governor’s car, which
had the Governor, his Aide-De-Camp [ADC] and
his Driver as occupants. The Governor’s Car
was badly affected but both occupants of the
Peugeot J5 Bus and that of the Governor’s
sustained no injuries.
The Peugeot J5 Bus was following a truck that
was descending the Ewu Slope when it suddenly
veered off into the Governor’s lane from the
opposite direction and directly impacted on the
Governor’s vehicle, apparently because of brake
failure. The good story is that nobody sustained
injuries in both vehicles. The Comrade
Governor is hale and hearty, his ADC and other
occupants of the Peugeot J5 are also in good
condition.

The incident has been reported to the Divisional
Police Station at Ewu for further investigation.
This is to assure all good people of Edo State
that there is no cause for alarm. Their loving
Comrade Governor is fine, hale and hearty as
well as other occupants of the other affected
vehicle. The Comrade Governor is wishing
everyone a prosperous new year ahead.
