Vice President Yemi Osinbajo’s convoy was not involved in an accident at the airport road, Abuja, on Monday  as was reported in some media and social media platforms. The VP only played the role of the Good Samaritan on his way to the airport.

Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande, who made clarifications, said the vice president’s security and medical teams stopped and  assisted an accident victim at the airport road.

He said the team removed the victim from the crushed vehicle resulting from a somersault.

Akande said the team transported the patient to Airforce Base Hospital.

The presidential aide said the vice president was on his way to Owo, Ondo State, to convey the president’s condolences on the attack at  St. Francis Catholic Church, Owa-luwa Street, Owo, on Sunday.

” It was a solo accident; the car somersaulted on the opposite lane and was impaled on a tree.

“The vice president is now in Ondo State to deliver personally the president’s condolences and message regarding yesterday’s attack in Owo.

“On his way to the airport this morning, the vice president came across a road traffic accident, stopped to lend assistance, and ensured victim was taken to the hospital with vice president’s convoy ambulance.

“He then proceeded on his trip and has since arrived the site of Sunday’s attack in Owo,” he said. (NAN)
