The photos of the crashed SUV conveying the former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole which involved in an accident on the 25th of August, 2020 at the Benin by-pass by Oluku junction, has surfaced.
Oshiomhole escaped death when a trailer ram into his convoy in Benin City, the Edo state capital while on their way to a campaign rally at Usen town in Ovia South-West LGA, with other leaders of the APC.
Two policemen died in the crash, with two others in critical condition receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, while Oshiomhole and other persons in the convoy, did not sustain any injuries.
The accident occurred when a “trailer driving in the same direction (with Oshiomhole) veered off its course, hit the back up Toyota Hilux vehicle carrying 7 policemen, forcing it off the road, into the bush and rammed into the SUV carrying Oshiomhole.”
Oshiomhole had in a statement by Victor Oshioke, his senior media aide, described the accident as a clear case of an assassination attempt on his life.
“Without prejudice to police investigations, eyewitnesses account of the incident suggest, and we believe rightly too, that this was an assassination attempt, targeting Comrade Adams Oshiomhole,” Oshioke said.
Similarly, candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the September 19 Edo Governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, who frowned at circumstances of the crash, alleged a deliberate attempt on the life of Oshiomhole.
“The circumstances of the crash were indeed curious and have left us deeply concerned, as the truck responsible for the crash, according to witness accounts of those in the convoy and other road users, appeared to have deliberately rammed into the convoy in what could reasonably be interpreted to mean an attempt on the life of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole,” he said.
The APC governorship candidate, however, urged party faithful across the state to remain calm and alert, while awaiting the conclusion of the investigation of the police in response to their petition.
Meanwhile, Comrade Oshiomhole has since visited the injured victims at the hospital and deployed some of his aides to be on standby to ensure that the wounded policemen are given the best medical attention possible.
