4 Lecturers of Igbinedion Varsity die in auto accident
|
The 78th birthday celebration of business magnate and father of Lucky
Igbindeion, former governor of Edo State, Chief Gabriel Osawaru
Igbinedion, assumed a disastrous dimension on Wednesday, as one of the
vehicles in his entourage plunged into the Ovia River, killing the four
occupants instantly.
The casualties whose identities could not be ascertained at press time
were said to be lecturers of Igbinedion University, Okada, who travelled
with Chief Igbinedion, the Esama of Benin Kingdom, who earlier in the
day launched his Benin-based Independent Television into satellite for
viewing in 104 countries.
The carnival-like train had left for the country-home of Igbinedion,
Okada, after the launching at the television station where another
celebration took place, after which they returned to Benin City.
