Former Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has called on authorities to clamp down on drunk driving in Lagos following a terrifying near-fatal encounter with intoxicated motorists.
The 2013 AFCON-winning midfielder took to Instagram to recount the incident, which occurred on Sunday night, describing reckless driving under the influence as a growing menace on Lagos roads.
“The government has to do something about drunk people driving in Lagos,” Onazi wrote. “I almost lost my life last night with two drunk boys in the car.”
The 33-year-old urged the government and relevant agencies, including the Federal Road Safety Corps, to strengthen enforcement and introduce stiffer penalties, warning that lives remain at constant risk without decisive action.
Onazi enjoyed a distinguished international career, featuring for Nigeria at the 2013 Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and earning a place in the 2018 World Cup squad before injury ruled him out.
