Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State and his deputy, Chief Steven Lawani, were involved in a ghastly road accident on Friday in which eight people were injured.
The accident came a day before the governor’s 50th
birthday which holds today.
The governor’s official vehicle in which he was travelling
and his spare vehicle were directly affected by the impact of the crash. The
two officials who were in the same vehicle escaped unhurt.
It was gathered that the governor and his deputy were on
their way to an official assignment in Wannune, Tarka Local Government Area and
Gboko when the accident occurred.
According to an eyewitness, an oncoming vehicle which
overtook another vehicle lost control, sommersaulted, then hit the spare
vehicle of the governor as well as the vehicle in which both the governor and
his deputy were travelling.
The accident happened at Angbaaye, a few kilometres after
Makurdi, the state capital.
