How God Saves The Life Of Former TheBeatFm99.9's OAP

December is going to an end while Christmas is fast approaching either, yesterday evening I was surfing the net (via Facebook) then I saw a post by the former TheBeatFm99.9 OAP Ayo where he stated that his car was hitted by a run-away truck, I happened to be one of his many fans when he was still on BeatFm.
