Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has confessed that she almost had an accident on Lagos’ Third Mainland Bridge.
The movie actress spoke out when Benson Akintoye, an aide to MC Oluomo, was killed in a car accident on the same bridge on Thursday.
Nkechi said on Instagram on Friday that her “steering almost left my hands while driving” over the bridge on Wednesday night.
She called the bridge “dangerous” and a “death trap”.
While mourning Akintoye, Blessing warned people “not to overspeed” when crossing the bridge.
“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 death trap,” she wrote.
“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 death will never be our portion.”
