A white Mercedes Benz G-Wagon belonging to Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose was completely burnt down on the Oshodi-Oworonshoki expressway in Lagos. Confirming the incident, Fayose’s spokesman, Lere Olayinka revealed that the SUV, said to be worth N44 million caught fire while being driven to the airport on Tuesday but the Governor was not in the vehicle.
“There was an accident involving Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose’s vehicle on his way to the airport yesterday. Though he was meant to be in the vehicle, by providence, he was not there. What caused the sudden fire under the vehicle is yet to be ascertained. The governor is grateful to God that no casualty was recorded. He also thanked the people who made spirited efforts to put out the fire,” Olayinka said.
