Osun State House of Assembly Speaker escapes death

The Convoy of the Speaker of the State of Osun House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Timothy Owoeye, was involved in an accident on Thursday afternoon.

The tragedy happened on the Osogbo–Ilesa road when a car travelling the other way drove into the Convoy, causing a head-on collision.

Many people who suffered injuries of varying severity were sent urgently to the House of Assembly clinic and UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital for care.

The Ilesa expressway became congested as a result of the collision because the majority of the road was blocked by damaged automobiles.

Efforts to speak with the speaker and his aides as at the time of filing this report were unsuccessful.
