Actress Nkechi Blessing has recollected her near accident ordeal on Third Mainland Bridge, two nights before Akintoye Benson, an aide to Lagos socialite and transport union leader Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo, died in a car accident on the same bridge.
Nkechi made this known in an Instagram post on Friday in which she encouraged her followers to be careful while driving on the bridge.
The Ada Omo Daddy actress said the new bridge is “dangerous” and she lost a good friend untimely.
She wrote: “I appreciate whoever is in charge of the reconstruction of the 3RD Mainland Bridge, but I can categorically tell you that the new bridge is dangerous, more like a de*th trap….
“With my driving experience on that bridge two nights ago, please and please do not drive speed on that bridge, yes it’s a beautiful and smooth bridge now compared to the way it was before, but I almost had an accident two nights ago, not like I was even speeding cus me no sabi drive speed, but my steering almost left my hands while driving…then just last night I lost a good friend on that same bridge, it hurts but What can we call this? A Blessing or a curse? Rest well Akintoye💔🌺🌺 Please do NOT over SPEED on the new 3rd mainland Bridge Please I am begging you🙏🏻 Untimely de*th will never be our portion.”
A video of Akintoye’s damaged car at the accident scene has gone viral.
Until his death, Benson was the chairman of the Tricycle Owners and Operators Association of Nigeria (TOOAN) Zone H.
