Delta governor’s convoy kills elderly man

There was commotion on Friday last week when Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s convoy killed an elderly man in Umutu community, Ukwuani Local Government Area of Delta State.

According to Sahara Reporters the governor and his convoy were on their way back from a meeting in Warri, jointly convened by former Information Minister Edwin Clark and Mr. Okowa, at around 5-6 PM when the accident happened in Umutu community.

A staff of the Government House press crew said its bus driven by one Isaac rammed into the elderly man who was driving a pickup vehicle.

The man was rushed to Abraka Hospital and then referred back to a hospital in Asaba where he died due to shortage of blood and severe injuries.

“The bus that killed the man was driven by one of our drivers called Isaac. Several journalists and cameramen would have been dead by now but God saved them. So many of them were seriously injured and taken for treatment in government house clinic,” he said.

“Youths in the community almost unleashed terror on the convoy but the presence of the governor and other top government officials salvaged the situation which could have turned bloody. Governor Okowa had to personally come down from his car to appease the people.”

The convoy of a former Governor of Kogi, Idris Wada was involved in an accident on November 12, 2013 killing a former chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Festus Iyayi.
