Nollywood actor, Rykardo Agbor, has survived a car accident in Ibadan, Oyo State, with his silver Lexus SUV suffering significant damage in the crash.
The actor disclosed the incident on Saturday, September 26, 2026, through a video shared on his Instagram page, where he showed the badly damaged vehicle and expressed gratitude to God for surviving the accident.
The crash reportedly occurred around the Cornerstone City billboard area in Ibadan, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. In the footage shared by the actor, the front portion of the Lexus SUV was severely damaged, leaving the bonnet crushed and the grille broken.
The impact also exposed parts of the vehicle’s engine, while the front-left tyre appeared to have sustained substantial damage.
Agbor, who was at the scene when the video was recorded, identified the location while showing the wreckage of his vehicle.
“This is my vehicle in front of Corner… Cornerstone City, Ibadan,” the actor said in the video.
He then repeatedly thanked God for preserving his life after the crash.
“Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ,” Agbor said.
The actor also appeared visibly shaken as he reflected on what had happened, adding, “This is what just happened to me now. Oh God.”
In the message accompanying the video, Agbor further expressed his gratitude for surviving the incident.
“As I was saying… Thank God Almighty I made it out of this. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ,” he wrote.
Reports from multiple Nigerian news outlets confirmed that the accident occurred in Ibadan, although there are still limited details about the circumstances that led to the crash.
As of the latest reports, neither the actor nor authorities had publicly disclosed the specific cause of the accident. It was also not immediately clear whether another vehicle was involved or whether any other person sustained injuries.
The extent of the damage to Agbor’s Lexus indicates that the collision was serious, but the available reports have not established how the accident happened.
The incident has attracted attention from fans and followers of the veteran actor, particularly after images and footage of the damaged vehicle circulated online.
Agbor’s decision to publicly share the aftermath of the crash also provided his followers with an indication of how serious the incident was. His repeated expression of gratitude suggested that he considered his survival significant given the condition of the vehicle.
Who Is Rykardo Agbor?
Rykardo Agbor, also known as Ricardo Agbor, is a Nigerian actor whose career in the entertainment industry spans more than three decades.
He was born on February 4, 1973, in Lagos State and is originally from Delta State. Before establishing himself as an actor, Agbor worked as a model.
He later studied Mass Communication at the University of Ibadan, the same institution located in Oyo State where the recent accident occurred.
Agbor began his acting career in 1992 and subsequently gained wider recognition following his appearance in the film, Visa to Hell.
Over the years, he has appeared in numerous Nollywood productions, working in both English-language and Yoruba-language films.
His career has included acting roles across different eras of Nigeria’s film industry, making him one of the familiar faces among veteran performers who have remained active over several decades.
Recent reports about his accident have therefore generated concern among movie fans and colleagues, particularly because of the extensive damage visible on his vehicle.
The incident also comes at a time when road safety remains a major concern across Nigeria, where accidents involving private vehicles, commercial transport and heavy-duty vehicles are regularly reported on major highways.
However, no conclusion should be drawn about the cause of Agbor’s crash until further information is provided by the actor, eyewitnesses or relevant authorities.
For now, the major development is that the veteran actor survived the accident. His damaged Lexus SUV has been photographed and shown in the video he shared online, while the exact circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear.
Agbor’s message following the incident has largely focused on gratitude for surviving what appeared to be a serious road accident.
The actor’s account, alongside reports from Nigerian media, confirms that the crash occurred in the Ibadan area and that his vehicle sustained substantial damage.
Further details may emerge if Agbor or the relevant authorities provide additional information about the incident.
