Nollywood actress Omeche Oko has narrowly escaped death after being involved in a serious motorbike accident on a movie set just three days before her birthday.
The actress shared a video of the incident on her Instagram page on Wednesday.
According to the clip, Oko was filming a scene on a motorcycle alongside fellow actor Victory Michael, who was riding the bike when it crashed into a pole at a movie location in Lagos.
The collision reportedly left Victory Michael unconscious for a brief period after he struck his chest against the pole, while Oko sustained a broken leg.

Crew members and colleagues immediately rushed both actors to a medical facility for treatment.
Reacting to the incident, Oko described the experience as a close brush with death and reflected on the fragility of life.
“Life is very very fragile. It could have been a different story but God said No. If you 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.
Several Nollywood colleagues, including Mofe Duncan, Chinenye Nnebe, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Nosa Rex, Chidi Dike, Onyi Alex, Uche Nancy and Toyosi Etim Effiong, flooded the comment section with prayers and well wishes for her recovery.
