Reacting to reports that it was the governor’s convoy that was involved in the accident, Humwashi Wonosikou, Chief Press Secretary to Fintiri, said the ill-fated van left for the campaign trip ahead of the governor.

“The convoy met the victims lying critically and released an ambulance to evacuate the injured to the hospital.”

The incident occurred after Fintiri escaped an accident, which left some persons in his convoy injured.

Daily Trust had reported how a truck rammed into the convoy of the governor just as he was about to depart a wedding venue in Yola, the state capital.
