Tragically, Lekan Olatunji’s wife’s passing follows closely after his own near-death experience in a car accident a year ago.
The actor had previously shared a video from his hospital bed, showing bandages on his head and arms, indicating the severity of the accident. A source confirmed that he had miraculously survived the horrifying incident.
In response to the news, Lekan’s colleague, Bimbo Akisanya, expressed her gratitude to God for sparing his life. She emotionally shared how she was brought to tears upon seeing distressing photos from the accident scene. Bimbo acknowledged Lekan’s unwavering support during her own difficult times, further highlighting their bond of friendship.
