Tanker Rams Into Akpabio’s Convoy In Ibadan, Kills Police Dispatch Rider

By Micheal Chukwuebuka

Ibrahim Hussaini, a police dispatch rider patrol attached to the convoy of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has been killed after a petrol tanker rammed into the convoy on Sunday.

This was made known by Akpabio on Tuesday during plenary, where he condoled with the family of the deceased.

Although the Senate leader did not disclose the exact location of the incident, he noted that the accident occurred in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, after his convoy picked him up from the airport.

“We went to Oyo state for the installation of our colleague,” he said.

“Unfortunately, my dispatch rider was run over by a tanker driver, and his head was shattered. We just buried him 15 minutes ago in Kogi state. He left two wives and four children.”

Akpabio also appealed to heads of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) to grant automatic employment to the children of the late officer.
