The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, had a close shave with death yesterday, when a trailer ran into his convoy, killing two policemen. The accident, according to reports occurred at about 1pm, while he was on his way to Usen in Ovia SouthWest local government area.
It was gathered that the trailer ran into the travelling campaign convoy, around the by-pass in Oluku Ovia North East local government area, hitting the back-up vehicle that the police were riding in. As a result of the incident, the candidate of the APC, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has called off his rally at Usen.
In a statement, the Chairman of the APC Media Campaign Council, Mr. John Mayaki, said it was suspending the scheduled campaign to honour the dead. On behalf of Pastor Ize-Iyamu and the APC, Mayaki condoled with the families of the victims, saying they were not alone in their grief and pledged that the campaign would do everything within its powers to ameliorate their grief. Reaching out to the families of the policemen involved in the fatal crash, the campaign said Edo would never forget their supreme sacrifice. The Publicity Secretary of the APC, Chris Azebamwan said Oshiomhole was okay and that they were waiting for more details from security agencies.
