Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Thursday, narrowly escaped unhurt when a convoy of bullion vans belonging to the Centra...
The incident, which occurred around Ibafo, while the Governor was
traveling to Lagos for an official assignment, saw the CBN convoy
damaging the escort vehicle in the governor’s convoy.
The CBN convoy, driving dangerously, attempted to overtake the
governor’s convoy without regards for the safety of other road users.
On sensing danger, the Ogun Governor’s escort commander used a
public address system mounted on his vehicle to warn the CBN convoy to
desist from such reckless driving.
Not only was the Governor’s escort commander ignored, the CBN
convoy drivers went ahead to crush his vehicle and subsequently went
after other vehicles in the Governor’s convoy, including the Governor’s
official car, before they were brought to a halt by the security team
attached to the Governor.
Reacting to the incident, Governor Amosun said, “this is lawlessness and the height of impunity.”
He added that, “if this could happen to a governor within his
territory, you can imagine what they would do to our citizens who are
simply going about their legitimate business.”
Governor Amosun expressed disappointment with the reckless manner
in which the CBN bullion van convoy often conducts itself on the road
and warned that such acts of impunity will not be tolerated within the
borders of Ogun State.
“We will not allow such senseless and reckless behaviour in Ogun State,” Governor Amosun said.
This is not the first time the Governor would have cause to
personally caution reckless CBN convoy drivers in Ogun State. On several
occasions, the Ogun State Governor had to personally turn back reckless
CBN bullion van drivers who often drive against traffic, with impunity,
on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
Signed,
Adejuwon Soyinka
Senior Special Assistant (Media)
Ogun State Governor.
