Speaker of Osun State House of Assembly Timothy Owoeye and some of his aides have been hospitalised following an accident on Thursday.
The accident, it was gathered, occurred around 2pm along Ilesha/Osogbo when Owoeye was heading to Osogbo from Ilesha after an official assignment.
According to an eyewitness, a vehicle heading to Ilesha had a head-on collision with the Speaker’s convoy.
Owoeye’s media aide, Kunle Alabi, told reporters that the Speaker was not injured but was taken to the hospital with those who sustained injuries for treatment.
Alabi said, “It is true that a vehicle heading to Ilesa collided with the speaker’s convoy leading to an accident, where four vehicles in the convoy were damaged.
“Many aides, including security operatives on the convoy sustained various degrees of injury.
“The Speaker is not injured but he is also at the hospital now, along with others for precautionary measures.”
