Nollywood actress Omeche Oko has expressed gratitude to God after narrowly escaping death following a ghastly motorbike accident on a movie set in Lagos.
On Wednesday, the movie star shared a video of the incident—which occurred just three days before her birthday—via her official Instagram page.
In the now-viral clip, Oko was seen shooting a scene on a bike with her colleague Victory Michael, who was riding the motorcycle when it rammed into a pole.
Following the accident, Michael hit his chest against the pole and briefly lost consciousness, while Oko suffered a broken leg.

Colleagues and crew members at the scene immediately rushed the duo to an undisclosed medical facility for treatment.
Captioning the video, Oko revealed that she came very close to death and described life as “very fragile”.
She wrote: “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.”
”After her post went viral, many of her colleagues—including Mofe Duncan, Chinenye Nnebe, Alichi Chizzy Mbah, Nkechi Blessing Sunday, Nosa Rex, Chidi Dike, Toniala Aladese, Doris Ifeka, and Onyi Alex, as well as producers Uche Nancy and Toyosi Etim-Effiong—trooped to the comments section to wish them a speedy recovery.
