Representative Marcus Onobun almost missed death in an accident while travelling to Abuja.
Onobun, who was the most recent Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, suffered injuries in the accident, according to Tony Aziegbemi, the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, who confirmed this to our correspondent on Friday. Onobun was hospitalised at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, where he is receiving treatment.
When Aziegbemi visited Onobun in the hospital on Thursday, he told him that his condition was not critical.
He had an accident on Wednesday, and I can confirm that he suffered fractures in a few places on his body, but he is responding and is not in severe condition.

“We spoke when I saw him on Thursday, and he even explained how the incident occurred. Aziegbemi continued, “I wish him a speedy recovery so that he can get back on his feet and continue to help his people grow like he always has.
Onobun, who is the HoR’s representative for the Esan West, Esan Central, and Igueben Federal Constituencies, reportedly suffered many fractures when the car he was riding in rolled into a ditch on the Ekpoma-Abuja Highway.
The legislator’s dark-brown Mitsubishi SUV’s wreckage revealed a detached airbag system, a broken windscreen and a deformed roof.
