Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface says ‘God is the greatest’ as he survived a ghastly accident on Saturday night following Bayer Leverkusen win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

Videos posted by the 23-year-old on Snapchat showed the player’s car smashed in the front alongside pictures of his bloodied hand.

The pictures also showed the player on a hospital bed with the caption, “Thank you, Lord”.
