Premier League rising star with Nigerian roots,
Jordon Ibe has been blasted by road safety campaigners after appearing to film himself while driving on a busy road. The 19-year-old Liverpool forward posted a clip on his Instagram account showing him posing while at the wheel of a powerful Range Rover. Nodding his head to loud music, the winger even removed a hand from the steering wheel to make a gesture while staring at the camera – and then hurriedly looked back at the road.
The mobile device’s camera was then turned towards the road, a three-lane carriageway with roadworks cones down the inside lane, reports the Sunday People.
Fans’ new favourite Ibe, who starred in Liverpool’s 1-0 Europa League victory over Besiktas on Thursday, quickly deleted the clip after his club was contacted about it. But furious campaigners at a road safety charity who have viewed the footage are now urging the club to take disciplinary action.
Ellie Pearson, spokesman for road safety charity Brake, said:
“It’s horrifying to see someone who is a role model appearing to behave so dangerously at the wheel. He should be ashamed of himself. He has uploaded this on social media where his young fans can see it. It’s irresponsible.”
