Nollywood actress, Omeche Oko, has opened up about a terrifying accident she suffered while filming a movie scene, an incident that resulted in her being hospitalised after she was thrown from a motorcycle.
The actress shared details of the incident through a video posted on Instagram on Wednesday. The footage captured scenes from the production, the moment the accident occurred, and her subsequent medical treatment at a hospital.
According to the video, Oko was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle being driven by fellow actor during the filming of a scene.
The situation turned dangerous when the motorcycle crashed into a metal pole attached to a vehicle barrier at the filming location. The collision reportedly forced Michael’s arm against the structure, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle and ejecting Oko onto the ground.
Additional footage showed crew members and fellow cast members rushing to the actress’s aid as she cried out in pain following the crash. She was later transported to a hospital where she received urgent medical attention.
The video also documented parts of her recovery process, including injections and other treatments administered for injuries sustained during the accident.
Reflecting on the experience, Oko spoke about the risks associated with acting and expressed gratitude for escaping a potentially tragic outcome.
“Life is very, very fragile. It could have been a different story, but God said NO. If u see an actor today, give them a hug. We take a lot of risks for the craft. All I can say is Thank You, God,” she wrote.
The post attracted an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues, many of whom sent messages wishing her a speedy recovery.
Another user, chekwasmichaels, commented, “The struggles behind scenes, I pray for a quick comeback.”
