The lawmaker representing Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Donald Ojogo, at the weekend escaped death, after his his two-vehicle convoy was involved in a ghastly accident.
The accident involving his vehicle and a commercial bus occurred along the busy Ore–Ondo highway.
It was gathered that the accident was caused by the commercial bus driver, who dangerously overtook the lawmaker’s vehicle and collided with an oncoming vehicle.
Ojogo, who recently secured a return ticket to the National Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, did not sustain any serious injuries, but some members of his entourage were affected in the crash.
The federal lawmaker was en route to Arogbo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area for a political engagement when the accident occurred.
While giving thanks to God for sparing his life and that of his team, Ojogo noted that the situation could have been fatal if not for divine intervention.
“God took perfect control of the situation and prevented what could have turned into a tragic incident,” he stated.
While blaming the driver of the commercial bus for the accident over reckless driving and impatience, the lawmakers confirmed that those who sustained injuries in the crash have been rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
