Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde says his convoy is not responsible for the death of a child that was run over by a car in Ogbomosho on Thursday.
Makinde said the incident involved a Toyota Matrix whose owner lost control of the vehicle leading to the child’s death.
“I received with deep concern the report that my convoy ran over a child on our way to Ogbomoso, earlier today. Our preliminary investigation revealed that the child was hit by an individual driving a Toyota Matrix car who lost control of his vehicle. He was not part of my convoy,” tweeted the governor.
Makinde also expressed his condolences to the girl’s parents and promised to bring the perpetrator to book.
“We will ensure that the perpetrator(s) is brought to book,” he added.
