Three members of the Imo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) travelling to Abuja for the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly slated for Tuesday 13 June die in an auto crash on Monday.12 June.
Many suffered multiple injuries and were rushed to various hospitals.
The bus they were travelling in had a head-on collision with another bus at Agbor in Delta State.
While multiple sources could not confirm the number of those dead some eyewitnesses said they saw three bodies on the ground.
The spokesperson for the APC in the state, Cajetan Duke, who confirmed the incident, described it as sad.
He, however, said the party in the state had only confirmed two people dead and not three.
But it was learnt from sources that the three victims include two males from the Amaraku community in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of the state and a female from the Ogbor community in the same LGA.
A party source, who pleaded anonymity, revealed the identity of the three dead people as the coordinators of the senator-elect for Imo North, Patrick Ndubueze, and the House of Representatives member-elect for Okigwe North Federal Constituency, Miriam Onuoha.
