Hon. Donald Ojogo, member representing Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, narrowly escaped death on Saturday when he was involved in an auto crash along the Ore–Ondo Road.
The accident reportedly occurred when a commercial bus made a dangerous overtaking maneuver, colliding with an oncoming vehicle and causing panic among road users.
Ojogo, who recently secured re-election to the National Assembly, was not seriously injured. However, some members of his entourage sustained injuries.
The lawmaker was said to be on his way to Arogbo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area for a political meeting when the incident occurred.
Speaking on the crash, Ojogo expressed gratitude to God for sparing his life and that of his team.
The lawmaker said ” God took perfect control of the situation and prevented what could have turned into a tragic incident,” he said.
He blamed the accident on reckless driving, accusing the commercial bus driver of impatience on the highway.
Those injured in the crash have been taken to a nearby hospital where they are receiving treatment.
