Celebrity photographer Wildshot dies hours before birthday

Wildshot, a celebrity photographer, was killed in a single automobile accident in the Wimpe area of Rivers State’s Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.

According to The Nation, the photographer drove into a building while attempting to overtake a caravan at 9 p.m. on December 8.

It was gathered that Wildshot was at a gymnastic centre in Port Harcourt when his mother who lives at Rumuola called him to complain that she heard gunshots around her residence.

Wildshot, said to be his mum’s only child, left the gym immediately.

However, while trying to overtake a trailer he lost control of his car, rammed into a building and sustained serious injuries.

He was later confirmed dead at an undisclosed hospital.

“People tried to save him by taking him to three hospitals. By the time they got to the third hospital, he was confirmed dead,” a source from the gym was quoted as saying.

Wildshot’s death occurred a day before his birthday.
