The actor, who also doubles as the Delta State commissioner for Culture and Tourism, was however lucky to escape the accident alive as sources claim he was immediately rescued from the SUV, which was badly damaged as a result of the accident, and rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Segun Arinze, in a phone chat with NET confirmed the incident, but refused to disclose further details concerning the situation.
‘I spoke with him while he was on the scene of the accident, and I can tell you he’s doing okay now. We thank God that we did not start this year with bad news of the death of a well-loved colleague’, Arinze told NET.
When pressed for details, the AGN president declined to give further information, pending the release of the official position of the body on the matter. ‘I cannot give you the details now, which are a bit sketchy at the moment, but we will soon issue an official statement concerning the incident’ he said. ‘All I can tell you now is that yes he was involved in an accident but he is doing better at this moment and we have to thank God for that’, Arinze added.
