Nollywood actor Kunle Afod has taken to social media to voice his concerns over the lack of emergency response following a road crash on the Ibadan–Shagamu Expressway in Ogun State.
The incident, which took place in the Shapade area, involved several people and caused significant damage to vehicles. Despite the severity of the accident, Afod reported that no ambulance or other emergency services arrived at the scene.
In a video posted by the actor, he expressed frustration at the apparent absence of first‑responders, urging authorities to investigate why help was not dispatched promptly.
Ogun State, located in southwestern Nigeria, is a key transit corridor between the cities of Ibadan and Shagamu. Road safety remains a pressing issue in the region, with frequent accidents attributed to speeding, poor road conditions, and inadequate emergency infrastructure.
Authorities have not yet released a statement regarding the incident or the response time of emergency services. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about road safety and the need for better emergency preparedness in Nigeria.
