''My wife and I were coming from the NNPC Mega Station and we stopped at the traffic light by Bolingo Hotel Junction,'' an eyewitness told Premium Times. ''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.''
Two hours after Premium Times arrived at the National Hospital and met a security official, he said the former governor was at the National Trauma Center. Thereafter the driver was contacted and he confirmed the accident and said his boss was in a stable condition.
The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, J. Momoh has refused to comment on former governor's case.
''I cannot speak about a patient in admission without getting approval from his family. You should therefore excuse me,'' Mr. Momoh told PT.
According to Premium Times, at about 12.25p.m. Mr. Akpabio’s predecessor, 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.
