For
ailing veteran actor, Enebeli Elebuwa, all hope is not lost as there
are indications that he would bounce back to life again.
He has been battling stroke, an illness that has left him bedridden and incapacitated for more than six months now.
In
a brief telephone chat with HVP, the ailing actor muted “I’m battling
for my life. I don’t want to make my illness a public issue any more.
I’m in a hospital, in Surulere area of Lagos.”
Enebeli & Segun
Earlier
this week, reports had it that the actor’s health is getting worse by
the day as he urgently needs prayers and support from all and sundry to
stay alive. But speaking with HVP, Enebeli sounded optimistic and very
hopeful that he would bounce back to life despite the odds. Though his
voice was weak and inaudible on phone.
Enebeli was first
hospitalized at St Luke’s Hospital, Yaba, before he was later moved to
St Tropez Hospital, Surulere, Lagos, where he’s currently receiving
treatment. For a long time, nothing concrete has been heard about
Enebeli’s health till now.
Not long ago, it was rumoured that the
Delta State born actor was taken to a herbal home by his family to
seek alternative solution, after his condition failed to improve
significantly.
Outgoing National President of the Actors Guild of
Nigeria(AGN), Segun Arinze during his visits to the ailing Elebuwa in
the hospital, was quoted as saying that “I’m seriously concerned about
current state of the thespian’s health.’
Arinze then mobilized his colleagues in the A-list cadre to raise funds for proper treatment and welfare of the actor.
HVP
gathered that the Enebeli’s sickness has created more tension and fear
among Nollywood practitioners, considering the rate at which prominent
members of the industry have died in the last one year.
