According to a breaking news report on Premium Times, Abubakar Ali,
the deputy governor of Yobe state, was on Monday, involved in an auto
accident around 9:30am along the Kaduna-Kano expressway.
An eye witness identified as Sunusi Abdul, disclosed to the
publication that the incident occurred in Daka-Tsalle town, along the
expressway, adding that he narrowly missed hitting deputy governor Ali’s
car.
"The SUV he was travelling in had a head-on collision with a
Toyota Avensis vehicle. Fortunately, the deputy governor’s vehicle did
not somersault, but the Toyota car was badly damaged and some of its
occupants injured," Mr. Abdul said.
A source at the Government House in Damaturu revealed that the
accident occurred as Mr. Ali travelled to Kano for a condolence visit to
the Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who lost his mother on
Friday.
This incident is happening barely a day after the Minister of State
for Labour, James Ocholi, his wife and son died in a crash along the
Kaduna-Abuja expressway.
Efforts to speak with the Yobe deputy governor was unsuccessful. He
did not answer or return calls, and the Federal Road Safety Commission
(FRSC) is yet to comment on the accident.
