Super Eagles Forward Boniface Survives Ghastly Car Crash

Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface survived a ghastly car crash on Sunday after scoring a decisive goal for his German club, Bayer Leverkusen in their 2-1 win over Frankfurt on Saturday.

The Nigerian international shared video footage and photos of his smashed car after the accident on Sunday.

The forward can be seen looking into the camera and then showing what appears to be his arm dripping with blood in the post.

Other images showed a black sports car which was destroyed in an accident before the post was later deleted.

Citing a source close to the striker, German tabloid Bild, however, reported that Boniface was “doing well considering the circumstances and is only slightly injured.”

Boniface wrote on social media on Sunday “God is the greatest,” adding, “God says my time hasn’t come.”

The forward’s club Leverkusen are yet to comment publicly on the news.

The 23-year-old striker joined Leverkusen last season and played a key role as the club broke through for an unbeaten league and cup, doubling their first ever Bundesliga win while receiving his debut Nigeria call-up.

This season, Boniface has seven goals in 10 games in all competitions and although he missed a penalty on Saturday, he headed in the winner in a 2-1 home victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
