Such an unfurtunate incident. The convoy of the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Mr Nsima. U. Ekere has been involved in a road mishap.
The incident occurred at Essene Junction, opposite Regina Caeli in Ikot Abasi Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, when a fuel tanker ran into the pilot vehicle carrying policemen attached to the NDDC Managing Director who was on his way to Calabar to receive the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
The tanker driver, who apparently lost control of his vehicle, also hit a motorcyclist and his passenger. The
passenger died from the impact while the rider sustained serious injuries.
The victims were immediately taken to a nearby hospital where they are receiving urgent medical attention for injuries. Unfortunately, two of the policemen could not be saved.
Members of the entourage in other vehicles were unhurt in the unfortunate incident.
R.I.P TO THE DEAD
