According to a statement from the communication department, the accident occurred around Edea, in Sanaga Maritime Division, Littoral region, the team was returning from Yaoundé.
A statement reads, “Yesterday Saturday 23rd June 2018 after a successful ‘World’s Music Day’ Celebration in Yaounde by Alpha Better Records headliners Salatiel and Mr. Leo at Palais des Sports, on return back to Buea the team met with an unfortunate event which has left the ‘Alpha Better Records’ traveling van in shambles.”
The back view of the vehicle was completely shattered but miraculously none of them was killed or seriously injured, “As the team traveled back to Buea from the performance, few meters after Edea, the Van that carried Musicians and a dancer was hit by a truck which lost control. Hitting them from behind, the truck caused the Van into somersaulting three times before landing. The accident thankfully recorded zero loss of lives and all the Musicians and Dancer have reported for medical checkup as ordered by label CEO Salatiel,” the statement read.The entire Alpha Better Records team went back home without any major worries but for the Van which would need serious maintenance.
Salatiel, Mr Leo, Blaise B and Askia constitute Alpha Better Records team including their dancers but the statement did not say whether or not the two renowned Musicians were in the Van. Shortly after the incident when the team succeeded to reach Buea, Mr Leo attended a Movie Premiere “Wardze” in Buea Subdivision.
A participation which sparked polymics on his dressing as many took to Social Media to criticise what they termed poor dressing from an Artists of his calibre. It was later revealed that he had no time to go home shortly after arriving Buea and going through a perilous trip from Yaounde to the town of Legendary hospitalit.
