Nollywood actor Rykardo Agbor has narrowly escaped death after a serious car accident in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Yoruba-language star revealed the incident on his Instagram page, sharing video footage of the wreckage and expressing profound gratitude for his survival. According to reports, the crash occurred near the Cornerstone City billboard along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Details on the cause of the accident and whether other vehicles or individuals were involved remain unclear.
In his post, Agbor wrote: “As I was saying, thank God Almighty I made it out of this. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ.”
The revelation sparked an outpouring of relief and prayers from industry colleagues. Actors including Sotayo Gaga, Toyin Adewale, Tijani Adekola, Jigan Babaoja, Kevin Ikeduba, Segun Ogungbe, Jamiu Azeez, Fausat Balogun, Adeniyi Johnson, Toyosi Adesanya and Esther Kalejaye flooded the comments section with messages of thanksgiving.
In a separate development, popular Nollywood actress Jumoke Odetola has announced her decision to step away from acting and fully embrace ministerial work.
Addressing concerns from fans about her prolonged absence from the screen, Odetola took to Instagram on Saturday to declare that she is now “a minister of God.” She described the move as entering a new season of divine purpose, stating that God had compelled her into the calling.
“I’m now a minister of God. I am entering a new season with God. I need all the prayers in this season. When God compels you, you may delay, but you cannot escape the call,” she posted.
The dual announcements have left fans and colleagues reflecting on the unpredictable turns in the lives of two prominent Nollywood figures.
