The convoy of the Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo was reported to have been involved in an accident on Monday morning.
Gatekeepers News reports that this is untrue and fake news. The convoy was not involved in any accident as widely speculated.
A section of the media (Gatekeepers News not included) had reported that the Vice President’s convoy was involved in an accident in Abuja.
Countering the report, Osinbajo’s Senior Special Assistant-Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, said the Vice President only stopped to assist victims of a road accident when he was on his way to the airport.
Laolu also shared pictures from the scene, assuring that the vice President is fine and is now in Ondo State heading to the site of Sunday’s attack in Owo.
“On his way to the airport this morning, VP came across a road traffic accident, stopped to lend assistance, & ensured victim was taken to the hospital with VP’s convoy ambulance. He then proceeded on his trip and is now in Ondo State heading to site of yesterday’s attack in Owo.
“Photos taken at the scene of the accident which occurred less than 2 hours ago. VP’s medical and security teams quickly intervened removing the victim from the crushed car which somersaulted on the opposite side of the road and got stuck on a tree. Victim now moved to an hospital.”
