Nollywood actress Omeche Oko has been hospitalised after surviving a serious motorbike accident while filming a movie just days before her birthday.
The actress shared a video of the incident on her Instagram page on Wednesday, revealing how she narrowly escaped death during the shoot.
According to the footage, Oko was filming a scene on a motorcycle with fellow actor Victory Michael at a movie location in Lagos when the bike crashed into a pole.
The impact left Victory Michael unconscious for a brief period after hitting his chest against the pole, while Oko sustained a broken leg.
Crew members and colleagues at the scene immediately rushed the actors to a medical facility for treatment.
Reflecting on the incident, Oko described the experience as a close brush with death and noted that the accident reminded her of how fragile life can be.
“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 risk for the craft. All I can say is thank you God,” she wrote.
Several colleagues and industry figures flooded the comment section with messages of support and prayers for her recovery, including Mofe Duncan, Chinenye Nnebe, Chizzy Alichi, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Nosa Rex, Chidi Dike, Toni Tones, Doris Ifeka and Onyi Alex, as well as producers Uche Nancy and Toyosi Etim-Effiong.
