What could have been another tragedy in the Nigerian movie industry
was averted last weekend when popular Yoruba actress, Laide Bakare
escaped unhurt in an auto crash.
The accident, during which the
actress’ Range Rover SUV with customised registration number L B O, was
damaged, occurred in front of Ifo Police Station, Ogun State.
NollywoodReel
gathered that the actress was said to be on high speed when a Nissan
saloon car, driving out of the Police station rammed into her vehicle.
It took the prompt intervention of policemen around to bring the tense
situation under control.
Although the driver of the Nissan admitted to being at fault, both automobiles were detained at the Ifo Police Station.
A witness told NollywoodReel
that “Laide really has her God to thank because she did not even
sustain any injury. I have seen an accident of this nature claim lives
before, but I think God is on her side.”
The source further opined that it was the ‘star’ status of the actress that made the jittery Nissan driver admit being at fault.
“He
could have claimed otherwise, but I guess it was due to the respect he
has for her. Both of them were at fault really because Laide too was on a
rather high speed.”
The fact that Laide survived the accident
unhurt is no doubt a relief, considering the calamities that have rocked
the entertainment industry in recent times.
So far this year,
actors like David Ihieze and Iyke Mkpu, one of the Nollywood pioneer
actors have died, while famous actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo survived an
auto crash which many thanked God did not claim his life.
