Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Livingstone Este Satekla, aka, Stonebwoy has expressed his willingness to join the campaign against motor accidents.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi TV<\/strong> at the funeral of the late Ebony Reigns on Saturday, he said, as a victim of a car crash himself, he would admonish the citizenry to collectively help reduce the menace to the barest minimum.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, she [Ebony] died in an accident. The same cause that kills almost thousands of people every year and a number of people every day. The same cause that leaves a number of people injured and deformed every time. I am an example of that; I\u2019m an accident victim and I\u2019m facing it till now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When asked if he had planned on embarking on any campaign to help curb this problem, he said he was ready to use any means available to fight road accidents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy not? Any form that we can advocate and educate the people about road safety, I am ready \u2013 and even as I speak now, it is gonna go far and you know we are all involved to make sure that we are all safe on our roads,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Stonebwoy was once involved in a car accident which claimed the life of his twin sibling. The accident rendered him disabled for a long period until he finally went through a successful surgery.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, he donated an amount of GHc 5,000 and other items to patients at the accident ward of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.<\/p>\n

Already, rapper Sarkodie has composed a song titled \u2018Wakeup Call\u2019 to raise awareness on\u00a0road accidents on Ghanaian roads.<\/p>\n

Other people in arts and showbiz have also added their voices to the call since Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng aka Ebony died in a gory motor accident on the Kumasi-Sunyani road in February.<\/p>\n
