Yoruba Nollywood actor cum content creator, Bamidele Tope Saint, popularly known as Okemesi, has cried out for help following a severe spiritual attack that left him paralysed.
Naija News reports that Okemesi, who has been away from the screen for almost a year, recounted his ordeal on Thursday during an interview with his colleague, Tony Montana.
Okemesi disclosed that the spiritual attack has left him homeless and pleaded with the public for financial assistance.
Tony Montana said, “I’m very sad seeing you in this condition. It is difficult for people, including your fans, to recognise you. What happened to you?”
In response, Okemesi said, “It was a spiritual attack. May God protect us from spiritual arrows. I was taken to Island Hospital, and people donated to foot my bills. But we realised it was beyond the hospital when my condition worsened. That was when the people with me searched for my relatives’ numbers on my phone.
“My senior brother in Osogbo asked them to bring me to him. He picked me up from the motor park and took me directly to an Islamic cleric for a solution. It was a serious attack. I became crippled. It was the prayers from people and God’s miracles that revived me. I couldn’t talk or stand. I began to walk with crutches a few hours after the Alfa gave me some spiritual items to use the same day I arrived.
“My brother was also attacked after I left the cleric’s place to stay with him for proper care. He was involved in an accident and also had a marital crisis with his wife. I had to leave his place and started staying on church premises. I don’t have a place to sleep, I don’t have anything. In fact, it’s difficult to feed. My fans, you are the only thing left for me. Please, I need your help to get back on my feet, especially with accommodation.”
