Richard Mofe Damijo has come out to clear the air regarding ‘coma’ rumours trailing an accident which he was involved in just yesterday, Tuesday, January 17, 2012.
The actor, who is also the Delta State commissioner for Culture and Tourism, had escaped unhurt in the accident, which left his driver in critical condition in hospital.
He recently addressed fans via a BlackBerry broadcast on Wednesday, January 18, 2012, injecting humour and wit to the scary incident while maintaining that he was ‘ALIVE and WELL’.
The statement reads;
‘Hi my name is Richard Mofe-Damijo and contrary to d rumours yesterday that I was in a coma, unconscious n even dead, I am ALIVE and WELL. God kept us (my driver n I) alive by His hands. This is to say thank u and a big God bless u all for the prayers and well wishes especially those expressed towards my driver following the accident yesterday in delta state.
