Former President Goodluck Jonathan has been involved in a fatal auto crash which killed two persons.

Mr Jonathan was returning from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Wednesday when the accident happened.

Although the former president escaped death and is said to be now safe in his Abuja home, two of his aides died in the accident. 

It is unclear if Mr Jonathan sustained any injuries from the auto crash as Peoples Gazette could not reach the former president’s spokesperson as of the time of filing this report.
