Press Statement from Edo State Government
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.
Signed
Prince Kassim Afegbua
