Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, star, Emmanuel Umoh, has survived a ghastly motor accident.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that this came barely a week after his colleague, Patrick Fakoya, better known as Rico Swavey, died in one.
The reality star took to his social media page to share a picture of his badly damaged car while thanking God for sparing his life.
Emmanuel revealed that it’s been a while since he cried and his recent near-death experience has rendered him emotional.
He also added that it wasn’t the first accident he had been involved in; he had crashed his first car in 2019, days after his birthday.
Emmanuel, who featured in the BBNaija season 6, is the first Nigerian to win the Mister Africa pageant and hails from Akwa Ibom.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that in the case of Rico Swavey, the Doren Hospital which administered treatment to him said in a statement that he was brought in unconscious with Glasgow comma of 3/15 smelling of alcohol, implying that he was drunk at the time of the accident.
A review of the photograph and video of Rico’s car at the scene of the accident showed that he was probably drunk when he rammed into the median on the major road.
A fellow ex-housemate in Big Brother Naija Season 3, Alex Asogwa, who shared the news on her Twitter page last week Tuesday, said doctors were trying to resuscitate him.
Rico Swavey, however, succumbed to death following the degree of injuries he sustained from the auto accident on Thursday morning.
