The Federal Road Safety
Corps on Wednesday said it was investigating the circumstances that led to an
accident involving former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio. The head, media
relations and strategy, FRSC, Bisi Kazeem told PREMIUM TIMES that an
investigation into the crash was already ongoing.
Mr
Kazeem said, “The accident and investigation team of the FRSC, was immediately
deployed to the scene of the crash for investigation.”
Mr.
Kazeem said the outcome of the investigation would determine the next line of
action the FRSC would take on the matter.
On
Monday, the former governor escaped death after his car got involved in an
accident along the Airport Road in Abuja.
The
accident occurred near the Bolingo Junction, close to the Ship House, Abuja
after Mr. Akpabio’s driver reportedly disobeyed traffic light, ramming into
another car belonging to the American embassy.
A
witness said Mr. Akpabio was travelling in a convoy of vehicles towards the
City Gate when the accident occurred.
The
former governor was later hospitalized at the National Hospital in Abuja.
He was discharged Monday
evening, and is reported to have travelled abroad for further treatment.
