Nollywood actor Rykardo Agbor has said he survived a car crash in Ibadan, Oyo State, after posting video footage of the damaged vehicle on Instagram on Saturday. The silver Lexus SUV shown in the video had extensive damage to its front. Its bonnet and grille appeared crushed, while engine components were exposed and the front-left tyre was damaged.

Agbor identified the location as being in front of the Cornerstone City billboard in Ibadan. Speaking in the video, he said: “This is my vehicle in front of Cornerstone City, Ibadan.” The actor, who appeared to be at the crash scene, repeatedly thanked God for surviving the incident. He also said: “This is what just happened to me now.

Oh God.” In an accompanying post, Agbor wrote that he was grateful to have escaped the crash. He said: “Thank God Almighty I made it out of this. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.” The source material did not give details about the time or cause of the crash, whether anyone else was involved, or whether Agbor sustained injuries.

No statement from police or emergency officials was included. Agbor was born in Lagos State and is a native of Delta State. He studied Mass Communication at the University of Ibadan and began acting in 1992 after working as a model.

He later gained prominence after appearing in “Visa to Hell” and has worked in English- and Yoruba-language Nollywood productions.
