German media, including the German daily Bild, reported on the 20th (local time) that a Mercedes Benz car carrying Nigeria's national team Boniface collided with a truck on its way to Frankfurt Airport.
The car bonnet was dented to the point where it was hard to recognize its shape, but Boniface reportedly suffered a minor hand injury.
After announcing the accident on his personal SNS, Boniface sighed in relief that he saved his life thanks to God's slogan, saying, `God is great.'
According to German police in Hesse, the accident occurred on the morning of the 20th.
Boniface played in the eighth round of the German Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season against Eintracht Frankfurt at his home stadium, Leverkusen Biarena, Germany, on the afternoon of the 19th, a day earlier, and scored the come-from-behind winning goal in the 26th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1.
