Jonathan Escapes As Two Aides Die In Abuja Road Accident

Two persons in the entourage of President Goodluck Jonathan died on Wednesday in Abuja after a convoy crash but multiple sources disclosed that the former president was not touched in the accident.

The ex-President and his wife, Patience, have been to the emergency unit of the National Hospital, Abuja where all victims were evacuated to.

Although Jonathan was not admitted into any of the units in the hospital, some members of his team were critically injured in the accident.

According to sources, the convoy was involved in an accident while returning from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja to his residence in the Federal Capital Territory.

Jonathan had barely returned from an international assignment when the accident happened.

The Federal Road Safety Corps, which confirmed the incident, admitted that two people died in the accident.

The spokesman for the FRSC, Mr. Bisi Kazeem confirming the accident involving the convoy of Jonathan, said: “Two people died in the accident. It was the ex-President’s convoy that was involved but he was not in the car that had the accident.”

A reliable source at the National Hospital told The Nation that “former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife were not involved in the accident but two of his mobile policemen were the ones involved in the accident.

A former Minister said: “It was a minor crash which did not affect Jonathan in any way. He was not hurt at all.”

How NDLEA Tracked Drug Cartel Queen For Six Months

Meanwhile, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it has arrested a notorious queen of drug cartel, Lami Rigima, who is supplying psychoactive substances to traffickers in Taraba.

The NDLEA Spokesman, Mr Femi Babafemi, said in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday that NDLEA operatives  made the arrest months after being on the wanted list.

Babafemi said that the 40-year-old came under the anti-narcotic agency’s searchlight when a number of traffickers arrested in the state in 2021 and early this year fingered her as their supplier.

He said that the manhunt for Lami paid off on Monday April 4, when operatives tracked her to her hideout in Iware village in Ardo Kola Local Government area of Taraba.

According to him, the search for Lami began in October 2021 following the arrest, prosecution and conviction of a 50-year drug dealer, Abdullahi Madaki.

“After serving his brief jail sentence, Madaki returned to the illicit trade with Lami still as his supplier.
