Former military president, Ibrahim Babangida Former military president, Ibrahim Babangida

Mohammed Babangida, son of the former military president, Ibrahim Babangida escaped death by whiskers when one of his cars ran into a trailer loaded with tomatoes along the Minna-Suleja highway on the evening of Monday, May 31.

He was said to be heading to Abuja for an engagement in a Honda space bus, with other members of his family behind the security vehicle.

Although no member of the Babangida family was hurt, three of the security personnel in the SUV died on the spot, while one was critically injured and currently receiving treatment at the National Hospital, Abuja, according to sunnewsonline.

However, details of how the accident occurred were still sketchy, but an eyewitness told Daily Sun that the bad portion of the dual carriage highway at Mallam Karu village, where all vehicles divert to one lane was responsible for the head-on collision between the trailer and the convoy.

Meanwhile, sympathisers have continued to troop into the UpHill Mansion of the former military president over the unfortunate development.
