Nollywood actor Ricardo Agbor is thanking God after walking away from a car crash in Ibadan, Oyo State, that left his silver Lexus SUV badly wrecked.
Agbor shared the aftermath in a video posted on Instagram on Saturday. He appeared to be at the scene as he filmed the vehicle, which sat in front of the Cornerstone City billboard. “This is my vehicle in front of Cornerstone City, Ibadan,” he said.
The footage shows heavy damage to the front of the SUV. The bonnet is crushed, the grille is smashed, parts of the engine are exposed, and the front-left tyre is damaged.
Throughout the video, the actor is seen visibly distressed. He repeatedly thanked Jesus Christ for his survival and said, “This is what just happened to me now.” In a caption accompanying the post, he wrote that he was grateful to have made it out of the crash alive.
Agbor did not say what caused the accident. He also did not say whether another vehicle was involved, or whether he was injured. As of the time of this report, he has not shared an update on his condition.
Colleagues in the industry have wasted no time reacting, with actors including Sotayo Gaga, Tijani Adekola, Adeniyi Johnson, Fausat Balogun, Toyosi Adesanya and Kevin Ikeduba filling the comments section with prayers and messages of thanksgiving.
Agbor, born on 4 February 1973 in Lagos, is a native of Delta State. He studied Mass Communication at the University of Ibadan, the same city where the crash happened. He began acting in 1992 after working as a model, and rose to wider prominence through the film Visa to Hell.
In a career now spanning more than three decades, he has appeared in both English-language and Yoruba-language productions, making him one of the Nollywood actors who have worked comfortably across both sides of the industry.
