Governor of Edo state Adams Oshiomhole, yesterday, said weekend’s
accident involving his convoy, in which three journalists lost their
lives, was an attempt on his life, as the tipper driver rammed into his
official vehicle, while the car he personally drove, escaped by the
whiskers.
Oshiomhole, who spoke on the accident at Government House, Benin
City, lamented that it took him and other survivors close to 40 minutes
to remove the journalists from their mangled bus.
Meanwhile, a crack team of detectives is investigating the ghastly
motor accident, in which three journalist lost their lives on the

ITV, and Fidelis Ohani camera man attached to African Independent
