“Trust me, they were more but that was all my eyes out of fear could count! 1 on the driver’s side and 2 on the other side. From both sides, I heard ‘yo mirror e’ (remove the mirror) and the other side ‘fo glass e’ (break the windshield). All these happened because of two ‘mumu’ trailers with smoke occupying the whole road and not driving on their lanes! While looking for a way to manoeuvre and overtake, I fell victim o. This happened after Alapere,” he wrote.

The actor also disclosed that this was the second time he had experienced such an incident this year.
