Furthermore, Ontop explained the actor’s health and shared the doctor’s message: “This message is from the doctor. He had a stroke on the left side of his brain. Which is likely causing right-sided weakness; they need to do a lipid panel test, Hemoglobin Alc test, Electrolyte urea and creatinine test for him,”.
He went on to mention other needs the doctor had mentioned the actor will need for recovery: “Then he needs to be on medications for cholesterol – atorvastatin, blood pressure – maybe losartan or hydrochlorothiazide if he’s not already on one and if he has diabetes or not. He should be on aspirin and clopidogrel.”
Movie producer Ontop also used the opportunity to solicit well-wishing Nigerians to support his family with financial assistance, as anything will be appreciated. He also went on to share the actor’s bank details.
