The former governor was conveyed to his aircraft by a tarmac bus and was fit physically when he was spotted at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja.
An
official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, who saw the
senator while he was about to board his aircraft, said,
“The flight conveying him on the trip taxied to the international terminal from where it took off. The former governor traveled with his own private flight and had about five persons who accompanied him on the trip. He looked physically okay, although some of the men with him said he might receive medical attention abroad due to the car crash he was involved in on Monday.”
Senator Akpabio was involved in a car accident on his way to the
airport to catch an international flight on Monday.
His car ran into a convoy of some United State’s embassy officials while trying to beat the traffic light.
Apparently the occupants of the
vehicles in the convoy of the US embassy and Akpabio’s driver did not
sustain any injury but the senator suffered some injuries in the chest
region.
The US Embassy has confirmed that the convoy of the former governor collided with a suburban jeep belonging to the mission.
The Senior Information Specialist in the
embassy, Sani Mohammed, stated that local authorities had commenced
investigation into the accident.
The Head, Media Relations and Strategy,
Federal Road Safety Corps, Bisi Kazeem, said seven adult males were
involved in the crash, adding that three of them including Akpabio
sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital.
