President Goodluck Jonathan‘s vehicle convoy was yesterday involved in an accident in Paris, France. The accident reportedly occurred as President Jonathan was traveling with his aides to a meeting with the French President Francois Gerard Hollande.
According to SaharaReporters, a French Police source disclosed that the accident occurred 15 minutes away from the Elysee Palace, the venue of the official meeting with the French leader. The car involved in the accident was the fifth car behind that of President Jonathan.
The report further stated that Jamilu Waziri, a presidential liaison officer (PLO), was injured in the accident and had to be taken to a hospital where he received treatment for a broken ankle.
