The State Governor, Prof Ben Ayade has expressed shock over the ugly incident where a motorist ran into a crowd that thronged the Carnival route to watch the bikers parade leaving about five dead and many with severe injuries
A statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Chief Press Secretary, Barrister Christian Ita said Governor Ayade is devasted by the incident and has directed security agencies to apprehend the motorist who is on the run.
While sympathizing with the victims of the accident and their families, the governor, according to the statement, ordered an immediate investigation to unravel how the motorist was able to get through security barricades to have access to the routes which were closed to the public.
Ita said the Governor directed the immediate discontinuation of the Bikers parade in honour of the victims of the accident.
Ayade while promising to ensure the culprit is arrested and brought to book, however, sued for calm.
