Former Akwa Ibom governor, Godwill Akpabio hospitalized after car crash

Officials at the National Hospital, Abuja have
confirmed that former Governor of Akwa Ibom
state, Senator Godswill Akpabio, is stable and out
of danger after surviving an auto crash on Monday
morning.
He was first treated at the hospital’s Trauma
Centre and then moved into a private wing where
he has been receiving visitors and sympathizers.
An eye witness narrated that Senator Akpabio was
moving in a motorcade towards the City Gate when
his vehicle ran into another car near the Bolingo
Junction close to the Ship House, Abuja.
“My wife and I were coming from the NNPC Mega
Station and we stopped at the traffic light by
Bolingo Hotel Junction. When the green light
showed and we made to move, there was this siren
blaring Mercedes Benz jeep that came from the
town and almost crashed onto my car. I don’t
know how we dodged but another that was behind
the jeep hit the car behind me and tumbled on its
side.
“I and my wife rushed out of our vehicle and
helped the driver bring out his boss. When we
brought him out, we found that it was former
governor, Godswill Akpabio. At the time we
brought him out, the siren was still blaring. We put
him in the other vehicle and he was rushed to the
National Hospital,” the witness said.
