More facts are beginning to emerge on the killer convoy crash
as the family of late Mrs. Victoria Adeoye, one of the victims of last
Wednesday’s accident at U-turn Bus Stop on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway, has
disclosed that the convoy which caused the accident, belonged to the wife of
Kwara State Governor, Mrs. Omolewa Ahmed.
Victoria aged 63, died shortly after she was hit by a truck
which was trying to avoid crashing into the convoy, said to be returning from a
visit to Hamkad Hospital.
Eyewitnesses had said the convoy drove recklessly into the
expressway from a side road without stopping to check for oncoming vehicles.
A second victim, who has been identified as Mr. Adebambo
Olumuyiwa, an employee of Lagos Cheshire Homes and Services, was said to have
died about an hour after the accident at the Ile Epo General Hospital.
Victoria’s eldest son, Dr. Olusegun disclosed that the
family had learned that Ahmed had gone to Hamkad Hospital to visit a
popular Fuji musician, Kollington Ayinla.
He said, “We were informed by some persons within our community
that the convoy, which caused the accident, belonged to the wife of Kwara State
Governor.
“They said she had gone to see Kollington at the hospital. We
learnt that he was admitted at the hospital for an ailment.
“In fact, we were told that after the accident, Kollington was
quickly moved from the hospital to another location at Iyana Ipaja.”
When Kollington was contacted on the telephone, he denied the
allegations.
He said, “Are you asking if I was ill last week or a month and a
half ago? I am not ill and certainly not hospitalised. As I speak with you, I
am in my house. I even had a gig last Saturday at Osogbo. So I was not at that
hospital you are talking about.”
Ahmed also denied that her convoy caused any accident in Lagos,
adding that the convoy narrowly escaped from the accident rather than causing
it.
