I was going for another production meeting at Agege and suddenly, a motorcycle rider crossed my car recklessly.
In an attempt to avert a head-on collision with the motorcyclist and save his life, I swerved my car off the road and accidentally rammed into an electric poll beside the road.
The impact of the smash was devastating. Immediately, I lost consciousness, only to wake up on the hospital bed after some hours.
I thank God I’m alive today with my two eyes because the accident nearly made me blind.
I was later told that a good Samaritan took me to a nearby hospital with the help of the producer of the movie I was actually going meet. He said they immediately took me to the hospital.

I can’t really remember the name of the hospital I was taken to because I was unconscious. All that matters to me then was my sight. I spent just three days at the hospital and the accident only affected my face. My sight regained strength and I can see clearly now."
Eyewitness say Ayo Olaiya, was returning from a movie shoot location before the unfortunate incident happened.
Ayo Olaiya has featured in many movies including "Jemiriye" "Seven Days", "One Cast" amongst many others, and has starred alongside top-rated actors and actresses in several movies.
