Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State, on Saturday, personally intervened to rescue victims of a ghastly motor accident along the Benin–Auchi Road after the bypass.
On arrival at the accident scene, he met several victims in critical condition, many bleeding profusely, while bystanders stood helplessly, recording videos instead of offering assistance.
Moved by the dire state of the victims, Governor Okpebholo ordered two of his security Hilux vehicles to be converted into an emergency transport vehicle.
He personally supervised as over-injured passengers, including a woman with severe injuries, were lifted one after another into the waiting vehicle and rushed to the hospital for urgent treatment.
