Yahaya Bello Of Kogi Falls Off Car, Injures Left Foot

Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi State fell off while alighting from his official vehicle last Friday and injured his left foot. This is according to a statement from the Kogi State Government House, Lokoja, on Tuesday.

The statement which was signed by Mr Kingsley Fanwo, Director–General, Media, and Publicity to the governor, said that the incident occurred at the old market area in Lokoja, when the governor was waiting to receive the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.

The Speaker visited Lokoja for the burial of Umar Buba Jibril, a member of the House of Representative, who died in Abuja on that Friday.

“The injury prevented the governor from attending the burial of Mr Jibril. He was represented by his deputy, Simon Achuba,” the statement said.

It dismissed claims that Mr Bello was hospitalised and incapacitated, stating that the governor was promptly treated by his doctors, who bandaged the leg and discharged him.

The statement thanked the governor’s supporters for their concern over his health, saying he (Bello) was doing well and would resume work after the Easter holidays.

There were reports that the governor was critically injured in the accident.
