The state Commissioner of Police, Mr
Umar Shehu, has on Tuesday
confirmed that the convoy of
President Goodluck Jonathan was
involved in an auto crash the day
before, leaving 14 persons injured.
According to the eyewitnesses, three
confessional policemen, three mobile
policemen, one member of the civil
defence corps, as well as one official
of the state branch of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and six
civilians were “seriously injured”.
Mr Shehu claimed the state
government had since released funds
for the treatment of all the victims. He
added that some of the victims have
been discharged but those who have
serious fracture were still at the
Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital, Lafia.
According to him, the accident
happened when the vehicle of a
prison officer ran into the convoy of
the president and collided with one of
the riders, who somersaulted and
thereafter ran into the crowd.
“They are all responding to treatment
at the hospital. Some have fractures
on their legs.
“The prison officer sustained minor
injury. He is still in police custody
while investigation is ongoing,” he
said.
It will be recalled that the president
was in Lafia for the inauguration of
the newly constructed Federal High
Court and Ta’al Model School
constructed by the present
administration in the state.
He was represented by Vice-President
Namadi Sambo.

Wrong caption. The President was represented by Sambo, so it couldnt have been the President's convoy.
