He prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the deceased and asked God to grant their families the fortitude to bear the loss.

“It is quite an unfortunate accident. I sympathise with those injured and in hospital. I pray for the peaceful repose of the soul of these supporters of APC” he said.

According to the statement, men of the Nigeria Police Force and an ambulance in the entourage of the senator took the victims to the hospital.
