Nollywood star, Yul Edochie in ghastly road accident

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, narrowly escaped death yesterday when his car got involved in a ghastly road accident on the Sagamu-Ore stretch of the Lagos-Benin highway.

He was driving to the south-eastern part of the country when, according to him, he suddenly lost control of the vehicle, a Nissan Pathfinder SUV.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the actor, in a post on social media earlier today, said he was driving on between 100-120 km/h when he lost control of his car, just before he got to Ore, Ondo State.

“I left Lagos yesterday heading to the east, just before I got to Ore, doing 100-120km, my car lost control and started veering off to the right.

“I tried to steer it back on track and the next thing I knew I was upside down, tumbling, till the car finally ended up in a gutter.

“Miraculously I came out alive with few cuts and bruises,” he recounted.

The actor thanked God for sparing his life.

“I also thank all my fans and friends all over the world who always pray for me and wish me well,” he said.

The former aide to Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, advised that people should get close to God.

“Life can end in a second. The money, the cars, the mansions, the fame, the good life, all vanity. Be close to God. God is everything!” the apparently traumatised actor preached.
