Nigerian music star J. Martins has narrowly escaped death after his vehicle veered off the road and plunged into a bush along a highway over the weekend.
According to eyewitnesses, the accident occurred when the singer’s car reportedly lost control while in transit. Fortunately, J. Martins emerged from the wreck with only minor injuries, thanks to the swift intervention of passersby who rushed to the scene.
Taking to social media to express gratitude, the “Good or Bad” crooner thanked God for sparing his life, describing the experience as “a moment that reminds you how fragile life can be.” He also appreciated his fans and well-wishers for their concern and prayers.
J. Martins, known for his chart-topping collaborations with artists such as P-Square and Fally Ipupa, has been relatively quiet on the music scene in recent years but remains one of the pioneers of Nigeria’s Afrobeats-to-Afropop transition.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident, urging motorists to exercise caution and adhere to speed regulations, especially on Nigeria’s major highways where accidents are becoming increasingly frequent.
