Ogun Crime Watch Calls for Police Inquiry into Kunle Afod’s Claims on Accident Response

Ogun Crime Watch has urged the Nigeria Police Force to question Nollywood actor Kunle Afod regarding his claims about a recent road accident in Saapade, Ogun State. The group believes Afod spread misleading information about the emergency response to the accident that happened on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

According to Ogun Crime Watch, the actor’s video, which criticized the emergency response, was posted just one minute after the Ogun State emergency team arrived at the scene. The group, led by President Comrade Olumide Martin, stated that this timing raises concerns about Afod’s intentions and suggests he may have aimed to mislead the public.

The group argues that the video could undermine public trust in the government’s emergency services and promote a political agenda. They emphasized that public safety should not be used for political gain and called for an investigation into whether any laws were broken by spreading potentially false information.

The accident involved a bus carrying 18 passengers that crashed after a tyre burst. Thirteen passengers were injured and taken to hospitals for treatment. Ogun Crime Watch expressed sympathy for the victims and their families, wishing them a speedy recovery.

Additionally, the group advised motorists to follow speed limits and maintain their vehicles to prevent accidents. They also urged public figures to verify their information before sharing it, as irresponsible comments during emergencies can cause panic and erode trust in emergency responders.
