The Actors Guild of Nigeria, AGN, has officially addressed the circumstances surrounding the tragic accident involving its newly elected president, Abubakar Yakubu.
In a statement released by outgoing president Emeka Rollas, the Guild clarified that the incident was caused by an unexpected mechanical brake failure.
The accident sadly claimed the life of a child and left the child’s mother injured. She is currently receiving treatment.
Rollas noted that Yakubu “cooperated fully with law enforcement and emergency responders as a law-abiding citizen,”
This dismisses speculations surrounding his conduct during and after the accident.
