Nollywood actress Omeche Oko has recounted how she narrowly escaped death after a serious motorbike accident occurred during a film shoot just days before her birthday.
The actress shared footage of the incident on her Instagram page on Wednesday, showing the moment the accident happened on a movie location in Lagos.
In the clip, Oko was filming a scene on a motorcycle with colleague Victory Michael, who was riding when the bike suddenly crashed into a pole on set.
The impact reportedly caused Michael to hit his chest against the pole and briefly lose consciousness, while Oko sustained a broken leg.
Both actors were quickly assisted by crew members and rushed to a medical facility for treatment.
Reflecting on the incident, Oko described the experience as a close call and emphasised the unpredictability of life.
