Hon. Donald Ojogo, member representing Ilaje/Ese-Odo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, narrowly escaped death on Saturday when he was involved in an auto crash along the Ore–Ondo Road.

The accident reportedly occurred when a commercial bus made a dangerous overtaking maneuver, colliding with an oncoming vehicle and causing panic among road users.

Ojogo, who recently secured re-election to the National Assembly, was not seriously injured. However, some members of his entourage sustained injuries.

The lawmaker was said to be on his way to Arogbo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area for a political meeting when the incident occurred.

Speaking on the crash, Ojogo expressed gratitude to God for sparing his life and that of his team.

He blamed the accident on reckless driving, accusing the commercial bus driver of impatience on the highway.
