Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State has denied reports that his convoy was involved in a road accident in which three persons were said to have died
A statement by his media aide Chooks Oko, urged the public to disregard the report.
The statement reads:
The attention of the Executive Governor of Ebonyi state has been drawn to a most malicious and wicked rumour making the rounds that his convoy was involved in a fatal crash along the Muhammadu Buhari International Airport Road, Onueke.
Not only is this a satanic conjecture, it is false, misleading and an attempt to cast a slur on the smooth commissioning of projects going on in the state.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Governor’s convoy was not involved in any kind of crash or anything related to it.
While there was a crash of a Toyota Sienna vehicle with a motorcycle along that road, the Governor’s convoy was nowhere near the incident.
The general public is thus enjoined to disregard the fake news.
