EDNews filtered in a few minutes ago that Nigeria’s Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo had an accident along Airport Road with the People’s Gazette reporting that his car somersaulted and he is currently being removed from the affected car.

“On his way to the airport this morning, VP came across a road traffic accident, stopped to lend assistance, and ensured the victim was taken to the hospital with VP’s convoy ambulance. He then proceeded on his trip and is now in Ondo State heading to site of yesterday’s attack in Owo…”
