A Nigerian in the UK, Elijah Oyefeso, is in the spotlight after his cars, gold Lamborghini and Bentley Continental worth a total of £450,000(N138m) were involved in a collision but laughed off the incident saying: ‘life goes on’.
Oyefeso(pictured) is a city trader, and police found his two stricken supercars after they were involved in a smash outside a Morrisons supermarket in Grays, Essex, in the early hours of Sunday morning, Daily Mail reports.
The 21-year-old who says he owns both the Lamborghini and the Bentley, told the British tabloid he ‘just started laughing’ after the accident and is confident his insurance will cover the cost of repairs.
Mr. Oyefeso, who has boasted of earning £26,000(N8m)-a-month after setting himself up as a stock trader, had the car painted in metallic gold just seven weeks ago.
He also said that he owns a Mercedes C-Class, and let his friend drove the Bentley before the accident.
He said: ‘I don’t know at what point the crash happened. It was just the next thing I know he’s gone into the back of me.
‘I don’t remember what happened. Afterwards I just started laughing. Life goes on, you know.’
Mr Oyefoso, who suffered minor injuries in the accident, refused to say whether the pair were racing and said his insurance will cover the damage. He said his friend, who he would not name, was arrested by police.
The former University of Buckingham student says he dropped out of a Business Management Course to concentrate on trading stocks, using his student loan to set himself up.
