There was disquiet among the drivers attached to the convoy of the Delta State Deputy Governor, Prof. Amos Utuama (SAN), yesterday, following the convoy’s involvement in an accident at the weekend.
The convoy, which was returning from a thanksgiving service at Mosogar, Ethiope West, in honour of the mother of the Political Adviser to the Governor, Chief Ighoyota Amori, was involved in a crash at Agbor, Ika South Local Government.
It was learnt that six persons were injured and are on admission in a private hospital in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
A driver, simply identified as Paulinus, sustained a head injury and is in a coma.
It was learnt that a surgery would be carried out on him.
Some of the drivers, who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity, expressed outrage, adding that besides the poorly- maintained vehicles in the fleet of the deputy governor, they (the drivers) are compelled to drive at a high speed.
