A trailer hit the personal car of Barr. Asue Ighodalo's vehicle on Saturday
evening, barely three days after he declared his governorship ambition at the
PDP Secretariat in Benin City.
In what seemed like a scene from an action movie, the trailer, without license
plates, rammed into the back of Barr. Ighodalo's bus on Sapele Road, causing
significant damage and forcing it off the road. Instead of stopping, the
trailer raced off into a side street. However, luck was not on the side of the
getaway driver, as he ran over a motorcycle, damaging his trailer and rendering
it inoperable.
Passers-by managed to apprehend the driver as he abandoned his vehicle and
attempted to disappear into the surrounding cluster of back streets.
Fortunately, Barr. Ighodalo, who had attended the burial ceremony of the
Commissioner for Digital Economy, Science and Technology, Ogbeide
Ifaluyi-Isibor before the incident, escaped unhurt.
The police have detained the unlicensed trailer and the driver; and are
investigating the circumstances behind the accident. As a precaution, a
security detail has been assigned to Barr. Asue Ighodalo.
