Senior Special Assistant on Media to Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, Mr Juwon Soyinka, has explained how a bullion van belonging to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ran into Amosun’s convoy in Ibafo.
In a statement released, Soyinka said: “The incident which occurred around Ibafo while the governor was travelling to Lagos for an official assignment, resulted in damage to the escort vehicles in the governor’s convoy.“The CBN convoy drivers, driving dangerously, attempted to overtake the governor’s convoy without regard for the safety of other road users.
“On sensing danger, the governor’s escort commander used a public address system mounted on his vehicle to warn the CBN convoy drivers to desist from such reckless driving.
“Not only was the governor’s escort commander ignored, the CBN convoy drivers went ahead to crush his vehicle and subsequently went after other vehicles in the governor’s convoy, including his official car.
” The CBN convoy was later brought to a halt by the security team attached to the governor…
“ If this could happen to a governor within his territory, you can imagine what they would do to our citizens who are simply going about their legitimate business.
“Governor Amosun, who expressed disappointment at the reckless manner in which the CBN bullion van convoy moved on the road, warned that such act of impunity will no longer be tolerated within the borders of Ogun.’’
