Abubakar Yakubu, the newly elected President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), has reportedly been involved in a fatal car accident in the Surulere area of Lagos. Preliminary information suggests the incident resulted in the death of an individual.
Sahara Reporters indicates that Yakubu has been taken into police custody at the Barracks Police Station in Surulere as investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash continue.
The accident comes shortly after Yakubu was elected to lead the AGN, narrowly defeating Rita Daniels, the mother of actress Regina Daniels, by a vote count of 116 to 113.
Authorities have not yet released an official statement detailing the cause of the crash or the outcome of ongoing inquiries.
