A member of the House Representative and immediate past Speaker, Edo State House of Assembly, Marcus Onobun, was recently involved in an accident.
The accident happened on the Ekpoma-Auchi section of the Benin-Abuja road while the lawmaker was going to Abuja to resume plenary.
According to the report, Onobun was supposed to have travelled by air but reportedly missed his flight and decided to go by road.
It was gathered that the lawmaker representing Esan West, Esan Central and Igueben Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives sustained injury.
After running into a ditch, the lawmaker’s vehicle was said to have somersaulted severally.
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Tony Aziegbemi, confirmed the accident.
He said Onubun was currently receiving treatment at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital.
Aziegbemi said the lawmaker is not in critical condition, adding that he spoke to him when he visited.
“I can confirm to you that he had an accident on Wednesday, and he had a fracture in some parts of his body, but he is responding and not in critical condition.”
Also, the Chief Press Secretary to Onobun, Ivy Adodo Ebojele, said the former speaker is in stable condition.
