The accident that claimed the lives of the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Barrister James Ocholi, his wife and son along Abuja-Kaduna road on Sunday was caused by over speeding.
The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Boboye Oyeyemi gave the verdict on Tuesday while presenting the accident’s Road Traffic Crash Investigation Interim Report to the Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Boboye said that investigation revealed that Ocholi and his family who were at the back seat suffered the most from the accident because they did not have their seat belts on.
He also said that the driver of the vehicle had no driver's license.
Ministers from the six geopolitical zones paid tribute to the fallen minister, while members of the cabinet resolved to visit the bereaved family immediately after the FEC meeting.
March 16 - 18, 2016 was announced by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, David Babachir Lawal as the tentative date for the burial of the remains of the late Ocholi, his wife and son.
