July 21,(THEWILL) – The House of Representatives member representing Esan West, Esan Central and Igueben Federal Constituency of Edo State, Hon. Marcus Onobun, has been involved in a ghastly auto accident on his way to Abuja.
Onobun, who is the immediate past Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, reportedly sustained multiple fractures when his dark-brown Mitsubishi SUV he was travelling in had an accident and fell into a ditch along the Ekpoma-Abuja Highway on Wednesday.
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Tony Aziegbemi, who confirmed the incident, said Onobun is currently hospitalised at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), where he is receiving treatment.
Aziegbemi said Onobun was not in a critical condition, as he spoke to him when he visited him in the hospital on Thursday
“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,” he stated.
