Former Governor of Akwa Ibom state, Senator Godswill Akpabio was involved in an accident along the Airport Road in Abuja, today.
The accident occurred near the Bolingo Junction close to the Ship House, Abuja. A eyewitness said Akpabio was moving in a convoy of vehicles towards the City Gate when his vehicle ran into another car.
The eyewitness said, ”My wife and I were coming from the NNPC Mega Station and we stopped at the traffic light by Bolingo Hotel Junction. When the green light showed and we made to move, there was this siren blaring Mercedes Benz jeep that came from the town and almost crashed onto my car. I don’t know how we dodged but another that was behind the jeep hit the car behind me and tumbled on its side.
”I and my wife rushed out of our vehicle and helped the driver bring out his boss. When we brought him out, we found that it was former governor Godswill Akpabio. At the time we brought him out, the siren was still blaring. We put him in the other vehicle and he was rushed to the National Hospital”.
A security official attached to the former governor said he was at the National Trauma Center of the the National Hospital.
Doctors have refused to comment on his condition.
