The convoy of Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri has again been involved in an auto crash.
The ghastly accident involving a Toyota Hilux conveying a detachment of vigilantes, accompanying the Governor while enroute Mubi for a campaign engagement left at least 4 persons dead.
The accident, which occurred around Fadamareke, in Hong Local Government, was attributed to overspeeding while trying negotiate a dangerous bend.
The accident involved a RAMP 2 Toyota Hilux van used by the Head of Fintiri’s vigilante.
Occupants in the van which includes Bako Kaura, head of PDP’s informal security arm and another victim identified as Adamu, Kaura’s biological son were said to have died in the accident.
The lifeless bodies of the victims have however been deposited at the mortuary of Hong Federal Medical Centre.
Five other occupants in the van who sustained various degree of injuries, were conveyed in the government house ambulance and another unmarked Hilux van, for treatment in a health facility.
Governor Fintiri’s personal physician and head of the government house clinic, Dr. William Teri, who was among the first responders at the crash also conveyed the victims to a hospital for treatment.
A source at the scene of the accident who helped with the evacuation and rescue effort, however, said
“I took out three lifeless bodies, but there’s a fourth that I think can hardly make it out of coma because of the injury he sustained.
“There were about nine occupants in the Ramp 2 Hilux van the head of vigilantes for Fintiri/Farauta campaign involved in the accident was traveling in.”
Meanwhile, few days ago, Governor Fintiri narrowly escaped death by the whispers when a truck which lost control almost rammed into his stationary motorcade.
Unfortunately, two vehicles on his convoy, were not so lucky as the truck crushed into them.
