Former Gov.Godswill Akpabio Nearly Die in a Motor Accident

A former Governor of Akwa Ibom

State, now Senate Minority Leader,

Godswill Akpabio, escaped death

Monday morning after his car got

involved in an accident along the

Airport Road in Abuja.

The accident occurred near the Bolingo

Junction close to the Ship House,

Abuja.

A witness said Mr. Akpabio was

moving in a convoy of vehicles towards

the City Gate when his vehicle ran into

another car.

“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.”

The witness said Mr. Akpabio was

badly shaken and was in a traumatic

condition when he was brought out of

the crashed vehicle.

He said the former governor was

apparently rushing out of the city

when his convoy beat the traffic and

crashed.

A security official said the former

governor was at the National Trauma

Center.

The source however noted that Mr.

Akpabio was later moved to a private

section of the hospital for X-ray and

other investigations.

The driver to the former governor,

simply called David who confirmed the accident.

Mr. David said his boss was in stable condition but

declined to say how the accident happened. He wore

a black jeens trouser with a white stripped shirt.

When contacted on the telephone, the Chief Medical

Director of the hospital, J. Momoh, said he could not

speak on Mr. Akpabio’s case because he has no

authorisation from the family.

Mr. Momoh, who argued that it is against medical

ethics to speak about a patient in admission, did not

however deny that Mr. Akpabio was being admitted

in the facility.

“I cannot speak about a patient in admission without

getting approval from his family. You should

therefore excuse me,” Mr. Momoh said.

When reminded that Mr. Akpabio is a public official

and Nigerian Senate Minority Leader and not a quiet

family man, Mr. Momoh still insisted he cannot

speak on the matter.

At about 12.25p.m. Mr. Akpabio’s successor,

Governor, Udom Emmanuel, arrived in a three-

vehicle convoy, led by a Toyota Jeep, with

registration number, Yab 474 BG.

Mr. Udom was driven in a BMW salon car with the

number plates covered.

If You Need Special Protection, Go and Hire Private Security - IGP

Arase warned police officers against illegal operations ,
whereby they attached themselves to some individuals ,
adding that any officer caught doing so would be
arrested .
“ Any individual who feels that he needs special protection
should go and hire private security. The police is for all , ”
he added.

Arase, who disclosed this during his private visit to
Lagos, noted that the rank and file were the officers doing
the major jobs , including arrests, investigations and other
special duties .

On the dismantling of checkpoints across the country , the
I - G said he insisted on their removal because they were
not a veritable platform for good security, revealing that
“ Safer Highways’ Points ” had since replaced them .
He said about 555 safer highways points had been
created to aid policing of the entire highways across the
country .
Arase added that officers assigned to these points were
given some
allowances to prevent them from engaging in corruption .
According to him, human rights violation by the police is
not allowed, stressing that officers must have sufficient
evidence before arresting anybody and such fellow must
be charged to court within 48 hours of arrest .
The I - G urged members of the public to be part of
community policing , saying one million policemen were
not enough for the country .
“ All community leaders should take interest in who
comes to their domain, their family background and what
the person does for a living .
“ If people in all areas give regular information to the
police , ensuring security would be better, ” he said.
