BULLION VAN RAMS INTO GOVERNOR'S CONVOY
A bullion van belonging to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) yesterday rammed into the convoy of Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
The accident occurred near Ibafo on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Amosun was travelling to Lagos for an official assignment.
The van damaged the escort vehicle in the governor’s convoy.
An eyewitness alleged that the CBN convoy drove recklessly, attempting to overtake the governor’s convoy.
He said on sensing danger, the governor’s escort commander used a public address system to warn the CBN convoy to stop reckless driving.
“Not only was he ignored, the CBN driver hit the vehicle and went after other vehicles in the governor’s convoy, including Amosun’s official car, before he was stopped by security operatives attached to the governor.
Amosun said: “This is lawlessness and the height of impunity.”
He added: “If this could happen to a governor within his territory, you can imagine what they will do to our citizens who are going about their legitimate business.
“We will not allow such senseless and reckless behaviour in Ogun State.”
