Obesere in car crash

Obesere and the damaged jeep

Hello Friends!

We should join the friends and family menbers of Fuji Musical artisit Obesere, to thank God for sparing his life in a car crash...

Fate stepped in on Easter Sunday to rescue self-styled Paramount King of Music, Abass Akande Obesere, from crossing the threshold between life and death after surviving a horrendous car accident in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

Obesere was reported to be returning to Lagos around 8:30pm from a performance engagement in Ijebu Ode when his driver, Femi, lost the control of the Lexus jeep LX470 and careened into the bush where it rammed into a tree. Though all the occupants of the jeep – four of them – including the musician were injured, no life was lost. After getting first aid treatment in a nearby hospital, they were moved back to Lagos on Monday and are currently undergoing treatment at Orisunmade Hospital, Jakande Estate, Isolo, Lagos.

In a chat with Obesere days after the accident, he debunked insinuations that his driver must have been drunk. “Femi doesn’t take alcohol and when we go to shows like that I always give him time to rest and he doesn’t partake in our music performance.

I was even having a phone call with my eyes gazed at him when the jeep swerved into the bush. It was a terrible occurrence, but I thank God that nobody died.”

Through suppressed pains, he jocularly tells E-Punch that after the accident, he now wishes to be addressed as Jagaban in deference to the never-say-die spirit of the former Lagos State governor and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) party leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed, who he just released a commemorative album for.

Culled from The Punch.
