Gov Akeredolu’s wife’s convoy allegedly kills 2 undergraduates

Two promising ladies in Ondo State were crushed to death in a
road mishap allegedly caused by a vehicle in the convoy of a
South-western governor’s wife. 
 
A vehicle in the convoy of Mrs Betty-Anyanwu-Akeredolu, wife
of  Ondo State governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, on Tuesday
killed two female undergraduates of  Adeyemi College of
Education (ACE), Ondo, along Akure-Ondo Road.
 
SaharaReporters exclusively gathered the bus, assigned to the
Ondo State Governor’s Office Press Corps, in Mrs.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu’s convoy hit a separate vehicle in which the the
two students were travelling into a canal.
 
The convoy of the governor’s wife was heading to Ore in Odigbo
Local Government Area  for an empowerment programme when the
accident occurred. The programme is the brainchild of the Forum of
the Wives of the Ondo State Government Officials (FOWOSO) through
the office of Mrs. Akeredolu.
 
It was learned that no fewer than three occupants of the Press
Corps bus sustained serious injuries. A Government House source
told this website that accident occurred when Mrs. Akeredolu’s
convoy was leaving her monthly empowerment programme in Ondo
town.
 
He blamed the accident on overspeeding by drivers  in the
convoy of the governor’s wife.

fatal motor accident today (Tuesday) around 2pm and two persons,
who were students, died. The driver conveyed people, who were
mostly journalists. The driver, later identified as Mr. Jimoh,
veered off to hit the students,” said the source.
