No fewer than three persons who are indigenes of Ezza South Local Government Area, on Tuesday lost their lives after the convoy of Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, rammed into their motorcycle.

It reported that the victims were on Muhammadu Buhari’s international airport road when an advance team rammed into them.

It was gathered that the convoy had dropped Umahi at the airport located at Onueke, and was returning to town when the incident happened.

The flyover was commissioned by Prince Arthur Eze, together with the Governor Umahi.

It was gathered that the governor left for Abuja shortly after the commissioning ceremony.

Prince Arthur Eze and the state deputy governor, Eric Kelechi Igwe, however, stepped down at the accident scene and consoled with the families of the victims, directed that the victims be rushed to hospital, then zoomed off to Enugu State.
