The newspaper also reported that he was heading to the Airport to catch an International flight, to see his family abroad.
The Head, Media Relations and Strategy, Federal Road Safety Corps, Bisi Kazeem, said “A suburban jeep and a Mercedes Benz SUV were involved in the accident; the suburban was towed to the embassy while the Benz SUV was towed to the Central Police Station. Our accident investigation team has already commenced investigation, so it is too early to know the cause of the accident."
