Nollywood actress, Omeche Oko, has been hospitalised following a motorcycle accident that occurred while filming a movie scene.

The actress shared details of the incident in a video posted on her Instagram page on Wednesday, capturing moments from the film shoot, the crash, and her subsequent treatment at a hospital.

According to the footage, Oko was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle operated by fellow actor Victory Michael during the filming of a scene when the accident happened.

The situation took a dangerous turn after the motorcycle collided with a metal pole attached to a vehicle barrier at the filming location. The impact injured Michael and caused him to lose control of the motorcycle, throwing Oko to the ground.

“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 incident sparked an outpouring of support from colleagues, fans and followers, many of whom flooded the comment section with prayers and messages of encouragement.
