Veteran actor, Olumide Bakare, who is currently admitted at the University College Hospital, UCH in Ibadan, Oyo State has spoken up about his health issues.
The thespian in an interview with City People magazine affirmed that his ailment started in 2013 but the situation is now worse.
“It has started since 2013 but it wasn’t as bad as it is now. We have treated it but you know things like that don’t go easily. About 15 days ago, the sickness resurfaced and I was rushed to the emergency unit of the University College Hospital, Ibadan where I have been admitted.”
Chief Koko, as he is famously called, also revealed the exact ailment he is battling with: “After the test was conducted, the result revealed that I am suffering from Dissecting Aortic Aneurysm and Pulmonary Embolism which has to do with heart related issues. From the diagram, it showed that there is a blockage in the vein that takes blood to the heart.”
A recent Facebook post by media personality, Babajide Moronfolu, quoted the actor soliciting for financial and spiritual help from Nigerians.
