Speaking via her social media page, Mary Njoku wrote: “Few hours to 2024. I almost didn’t make it. What could have been a major accident averted.
“Still don’t know how I escaped it. But I did. It wasn’t my time. So, it almost doesn’t count.
“It’s 2024, and I am still here, thankful for Life. I will slow down and love life every day as if it were going to be my last. Cos one day, it will be. Just like 31st December, 2023.
“Life is too short to be anything but happy. Grateful.
“If it’s not time, it’s not your time! 2023 was not my time.”
Prior to this, another actor and movie producer, Azeez Ijaduade also had a near-death experience after an encounter with a trigger-happy police officer.
According to his colleague, Abiodun Adebanjo, a single bullet pierced the thespian’s car and hit his neck last week, leaving him to battle for his life.
Addressing the saga after leaving the hospital, Ijaduade expressed gratitude to God for what he termed His unspeakable intervention.
However, responding to the allegation by the actor’s colleague, Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, clarified the incident occurred when an officer attached to the executives of Bramajaj Company Limited, Ogere Remo, “accidentally discharged a shot from his rifle” during the company’s end-of-year party at a hotel in Iperu in Ogun State.
