The General Overseer of Christ The Light Gospel Church Ministry (Inc), Ibadan, Bishop Solomon Aremu has urged Oyo State Government to urgently review the recently installed traffic light at a junction linking the Nigeria Television Authority, (NTA) Agodi Gate to the Total Garden-Goverment House Area.
Speaking in Ibadan at the church headquarters, Aremu said the step becomes necessary to avert accidents that can lead to death within the axis.
Aremu explained he narrowly escaped death on Thursday morning after obeying the NTA Agodi, traffic light.
Aremu, whose ministry is celebrating the 33rd anniversary, urged the State Government to look at the possible ways of averting such crisis in the future.
According to him: “it was just simply by God’s grace that I survived the accident even with my granddaughter sitting beside me.
“If not for the traffic light just installed at the NTA junction, I would had moved a bit forward to see the traffic coming from the Total-Garden end of the road.
“Unknown to me, a trailer was ascending the Total Garden-Gate road and to avoid collusion with the trailer which refused to stop for the traffic light passing the traffic from Total-Garden end of the road hits a Toyota Camry coming from the Govt House route.”
The Cleric, whose Toyota Forerunner was badly damaged, thanked all those that assisted during the incident.
