Ghanaian Dancehall superstar Emmanuel Samini was on Sunday morning
treated and discharged from hospital after a seemingly serious car
accident he encountered on
his way from a musical concert performance.
Samini
was returning from the Ghana Trade Fair Centre where he had purportedly
stolen the show at the fairly successful Ghana Music and Food Festival
organized by Konsule Entertainment over the weekend.
“At about
5am”, Samini said, “I lost control of the steering wheel after an
animal- a dog, I believe- crossed the road from nowhere resulting in my
car veering off the road and crashing a gutter”. The incident occurred
near Exhibition Junction at Dansoman in Accra, on his way back home from
the said performance.
Prelim medical assessment and report revealed that Samini sustained
minor injuries when his head smashed the windscreen immediately
rendering him unconscious. “His seat belt worn at the time obviously
reduced the impact and prevented him from being thrown out of the car”, a
Samini Music rep confirmed to Hi Newspaper on Sunday afternoon.
Samini
was immediately rushed to the Korlebu Teaching Hospital at 5:25am where
he was immediately treated and discharged on Sunday.
“I thank God
for this big miracle, considering that I collapsed and did not feel my
body move properly until at the hospital, where doctors from various
departments- over seven of them- had to cease their activities to attend
to me. I’m very grateful to them and thank God for this intervention. I
want to use this opportunity to assure my fans that I’m quite fine now,
and ask that they pray for me continually because it is totally due to
their unceasing prayers that have kept me alive today”, Samini said.
Though
he’s been discharged, Samini is still been monitored by his doctors. He
is expected to return to the Hospital for check-up at 10am on Monday,
October 30, 2011.
