In his words “Baba Sala was discharged at 3:47p.m after he recovered from the ailment. Baba Sala has fully recovered now and has been discharged. We gave him necessary medical care. If he’s not alright, we would not have discharged him.”
His son, Emmanuel, also took to Facebook to thank friends and fans for their concern.
