From Sahara Reporters
An eyewitness who was at the scene attributed the accident to the recklessness of drivers in the governor’s convoy who chose to occupy the entire road. The source said that following the reckless occupation of the centre of the road, a commercial vehicle which was attempting to negotiate a sharp curve in Ibusa lost control and somersaulted repeatedly into a nearby bush, and leaving the occupants of the ill-fated vehicle with wounds.
It was learnt that immediately the incident occurred, Governor Uduagha responded with concern, alighting from his vehicle and ordering that the victims be rescued with some of the vehicles in his convoy and taken to the hospital for treatment. The accident and the response caused an unprecedented hold up.
When Saharareporters reached the commissioner of information, Chike Ogeah, regarding the accident, he denied the version of the story that the accident was caused by the governor's convoy. He claimed the governor was acting as a good samaritan by alighting from his official vehicle to assist accident victims in Oleh.
However, an impeccable source in the convoy however confided in this reporter that that account is simply the official line, that everyone in the convoy was warned to say in the event of any questions.
The state Public Relations Officer of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr. Jeff Otubu, said he could not confirm to this reporter if it was the governor’s convoy that was involved in the accident. He confirmed that officials of the commission had been dispatched to the scene of the accident on a rescue mission and promised to get back to the reporter as soon he obtains details on the accident. As of the time of this report, he was still being awaited.

These convoys are so reckless and i find it strange the Governors themselves who are plundering their states don't die themselves. Innocent people are left to suffer the fate of their recklessness.
Sometimes i believe they do it as some ritualistic hex.

These convoy drivers are so utterly reckless. No need for them to lie that the governor's convoy wasnt the cause of the accident cos every nigerian above 5yrs of age knows that these guys that drive in convoys are beasts behind wheels!
hmm, hopefully they didnt kill any innocent pple
good for them
Onokpite's soul is crying for revenge.
Ugudghuan is a DEVIL....
I hope no one's life was lost sha. They should watch the way they speed on the roads they refuse to repair, else it soaks their blood
these convoy people always drive recklessly SMH
hmnnnn.....womnderful!
mr gomina, you and your need for speed drivers need to remember that you are only at the top of the law chain and not above the law
Pls believe what you read on fb ....the governor actually helped the victim not the other way round....believe it cos am giving you an eye witness account
when they drive so recklessly as if they own the road!
Useless sense of use of vehicles. Stupid idiots. Why da hell does it take the road safety years to get to the scene of accident. And y wasn't Udagannn or whatever, fined? US governors ride subways to work daily, some ride bikes or drive themselves. Why da heck does this punk need convoy daily and why are they speeding. Convoys are not suppose to speed. What da heck.
