Veteran actor, Gbolagade Akinpelu also known as Ogun Majek has
debunked news of his death after speaking from his hospital bed in
Ibadan.
Recall that actress, Foluke Daramola also debunked the news.
Newsman, Gbolahan Adetayo reportedly placed a call to the executive
governor of Theater And Motion Picture Practitioner Association of
Nigeria (TAMPAN) Oyo State Chapter, Yeye Rose Odika who confirmed that
the actor is not dead.
In a new video making the rounds, the actor confirmed that he is alive responding to treatment.
“I’m not Dead, I am alive, this is me speaking with you live
and direct, may God not take my life in hurry. Indeed, I am not healthy
and that is why I am receiving treatment. I really appreciate your
supports. To those who sent donations for my treatment, I pray that God
will continue to bless you. You shall not reap it like this. I pray that
God will consider this month of Ramadan to uplift you all. Amen”, he said.
Meanwhile, four days ago, the family of the actor asked for public assistance as his health deteriorates.
The request was for financial help contained in a release issued by one of his sons, Akinpelu Akeem Abidemi.
Abidemi claimed that the children of Gbolagade Akinpelu are using
the medium to appeal to all indigenes of Ibadanland, Oyo State, and
Nigerians as a whole to provide financial assistance for the treatment
of their father who has been battling with an unknown sickness for some
years.
He also said that they have spent and sold all resources at their
disposal but all to no avail. He said they are asking for help from the
public in order not to lose the ailing film actor.
He enjoined people across religious beliefs to pray for his father
and to also pray for intending donors that their pockets will never dry.
