Three days before her birthday, Nollywood actress Omeche Oko was involved in a horrific motorbike accident on a film set, narrowly avoiding death.
On Wednesday, the movie star posted a video of the incident on her Instagram page.
According to the video, Oko and her coworker Victory Michael were riding a bike while filming a scene in Lagos when their bike collided with a pole.
While Omeche broke one of her legs, Victory Michael struck his chest on the pole and momentarily lost consciousness.
The two were taken to an undisclosed medical facility for treatment by coworkers and crew members.
She wrote, “Life is very very fragile. It could have been a different story but God said No. If you see an actor today, give them a hug. We take a lot of risks for the craft. All I can say is thank you God.”
Some of her colleagues, including Mofe Duncan, Chinenye Nnebe, Alichi Chizzy Mbah, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Nosa Rex, Chidi Dike, Toniala Aladese, Doris Ifeka, and Onyi Alex as well as producers Uche Nancy and Toyosi Etim Effiong thronged to the comments section to send her well wishes.
We stand with Omeche Oko and her loved ones in giving thanks to God for her life and swift recovery. Our hearts are full of gratitude for her safety, and we continue to pray for her strength and healing. May God’s name be praised forever.
