The convoy of Gambari who was accompanied by Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; and his counterpart in Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, was reported to have been involved in an accident after one of police van in the convoy ram into a ditch during the inspection of ongoing works at the second Niger bridge.
