Representative Marcus Onobun almost missed death in an accident while traveling to Abuja.
Onobun, who was the most recent Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, suffered injuries in the accident, according to Tony Aziegbemi, the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, who confirmed this to our correspondent on Friday. Onobun was hospitalized at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, where he is receiving treatment.
When Aziegbemi visited Onobun in the hospital on Thursday, he told him that his condition was not critical.

“I can confirm to you that he had an accident on Wednesday and he had fractures in some parts of his body but he is responding and not in critical condition.
“When I visited him on Thursday, we spoke and he even told me how the incident happened. I wish him a quick recovery so that he can get back on his feet and contribute to the development of his people as he has always done,” Aziegbemi added.
Onobun, representing Esan West, Esan Central and Igueben Federal Constituency in the HoR, reportedly sustained multiple fractures when a vehicle he was travelling in fell into a ditch along Ekpoma-Abuja Highway.
The wreckage of the lawmaker’s vehicle, a dark-brown Mitsubishi SUV, showed a detached airbag system, a shattered windshield, and a disfigured roof.
