The cause of the accident was linked to over speeding and tyre burst.

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) was quickly called to the scene by good samaritans.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) Kogi state chapter, Ahaji Taufiq Isa and hundreds of Muslims have prayed for the quick recovery of Governor Bello.

According to Arikeuyo, “It is always good for Muslims to pray for the wellbeing of fellow citizens”.

He quoted verses of the Holy Quran to buttress his point and prayed that “Allah would hasten the recovery of our leaders, especially our governor who was involved in a minor accident.

“The governor shall surpass all the difficulties and trying moment. He will be healed by the power of Almighty Allah”, he said.
