Some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who left Imo State to attend the 10th Assembly’s inauguration on Tuesday were killed in a road accident.
According to Cajetan Duke, the APC’s Imo spokesman, the vehicle in which they were travelling collided with another bus at Agbor in Delta State.
Though he stated that only two people were confirmed dead, several sources told our correspondent that three people died on the bus, while others with varying degrees of injuries were taken to hospitals.
The auto crash killed two males from the Amaraku community in the state’s Isiala Mbano Local Government Area and a female from the Ogbor community in the same Isiala Mbano LGA.
