He said “In November 2013, I had a terrible accident. It was a near-death experience and I was in the vehicle with my management team.

“The accident was caused by armed robbery. We were on the highway when suddenly the car was shot at. The driver was killed and we ended up in a ditch.

“I sustained injuries and the visible scars on my body are from that day.

“I really thought it was the end, especially when the driver died and his foot was still on the throttle, making the car to continue moving. As the car was about to crash, I just covered my face and brace for impact. I thought that at least, one should die as a fine boy.

“After the crash, the armed robbers came and ransacked all the bags in the car, looking for money. Today, I continue to remember that incident and I know that God kept me alive for a reason.”
