We rushed him to Toki Hospital off Adeniran Ogunsanya where he is now. The doctors are doing everything possible though he’s not really come around yet and they don’t know yet what the real cause of the slump is. He’s been taking the death of our 78-year-old mum badly since last week. We are really praying here for his health.”
