Tragic Accident on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway: Nollywood Actor Rotimi Salami Shares Heart-Wrenching Experience
Nollywood actor Rotimi Salami recently took to his Instagram page to recount a heart-wrenching accident that occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The incident, which took place on Sunday, left the actor deeply shaken as he witnessed the devastating aftermath.
In his emotional post, Salami revealed that the accident resulted in the loss of six lives, with several others sustaining severe injuries and requiring hospitalization. The actor attributed the cause of the tragedy to the driver’s reckless behavior, stating that the driver was intoxicated and disregarded warnings from passengers about his dangerous driving.
Expressing his profound grief, Salami wrote, “I cried like a baby. Yesterday was a very sad day as I witnessed a gory-looking fatal accident along the Ibadan/Lagos expressway. I was in tears while I watched many people fight for their lives in pain. 6 died, and others were hospitalized. Thanks to FRSC along that axis, which showed as early as they could after my life video. The driver of the bus was drunk. DO NOT DRINK TOO MUCH AND STILL DRIVE.”
The actor’s poignant message serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of driving under the influence and the importance of responsible behavior behind the wheel. He also expressed gratitude to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), citizens, and medical personnel who responded to the accident and provided assistance to the victims.
