Immediate past Speaker of the Edo State House Of Assembly, Rt.Hon. Marcus Onobun, has escaped death in a ghastly auto crash on his way to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. He has since been hospitalized.
Hon. Onobun is now representing Esan West, Esan Central and Igueben Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives in Abuja. He was said to have sustained multiple fractures when a vehicle he was travelling in fell into a ditch and somersaulted multiple times along Ekpoma-Abuja Highway.
He was travelling from Benin, the Edo State capital to Abuja, after missing his flight when the accident happened. He was rushed to the hospital and doctors said he would fully recover.
The wreckage of the lawmaker’s vehicle, a dark-brown Mitsubishi SUV, showed a detached airbag system, a shattered windshield and a disfigured roof.
A member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Mr Onobun was the Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly from 2020 until he was elected to the Federal House of Representatives during the 2023 general elections.
