THE former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, was involved in a motor accident on Thursday evening on his way from Abuja.

The former governor, whose tenure elongation was crushed by the  Supreme Court ruling on Friday, left Lokoja, the state capital, for Abuja with the hope of winning the legal battle.

Saturday Tribune gathered that a car ran into the former governor’s personal car he was riding in, before swerving into the bush.

A source close to the former governor confirmed the involvement of his boss in an auto crash,  adding that he was not injured.

The aide, who expressed shock,  said that the accident occurred because a driver, who had parked on seeing the convoy, erroneously got in front of Idris’ car on the assumption that the convoy had passed.

“In the process, he pushed the governor’s Jeep off the road and right into the bush, but the governor was not injured,” the aide said.
