Ondo Lawmaker Ojogo Escapes Death In Ore–Ondo Road Crash

A member of the House of Representatives, Donald Ojogo, on Saturday escaped a potentially fatal road crash along the Ore–Ondo Road in Ondo State.

Ojogo, who represents the Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency, was reportedly travelling to Arogbo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area for a political meeting when the accident occurred.

The crash was said to have happened after a commercial bus allegedly attempted a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre, colliding with an oncoming vehicle and causing the accident.

Although Ojogo escaped without serious injuries, some members of his entourage were reportedly injured and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The lawmaker, who recently secured re-election to the National Assembly, expressed gratitude to God for protecting him and his team.

“God took perfect control of the situation and prevented what could have turned into a tragic incident,” Ojogo said.

He attributed the crash to reckless driving, accusing the commercial bus driver of impatience while using the highway.

The injured victims are currently receiving medical attention.
