Baba Sala is not dead, forget the social media rumours

Moses Adejumo popularly know as Baba Sala is not dead, contrary to the rumours of his death which was spread on social media early Wednesday.

Though the octogenarian was rushed from Ilesa in Osun State to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Monday night because of an old age-related ailment.

Speaking through his son, Emmanuel, in Ibadan on Wednesday, Baba Sala told PUNCH correspondent that the social media was responsible for the rumour, he called on Nigerians to continue to pray for his recovery, as he recuperates in the hospital.

He said, “I am alive and doing well here in UCH. The social media spread the rumour without confirming the state of my health. I greet my fans all over the world that showed great concern and love over my health condition. I love you all. I am an old man and conditions like these are expected once in a while.

“I was very active as a child and a young man and I hardly had time to rest. Maybe that is taking its toll on my health now, but I thank God to have lived this far. I still need your prayers at this stage. UCH is taking good care of me.”

Adejumo was on Wednesday moved to a special ward of the hospital after doctors made it clear that he needed to take a break from receiving visitors so that he could have enough rest.

The comedian also attributed his ill health to the stress occasioned by his recent journey abroad, saying that as soon as he left the hospital, he would publicly speak to his fans.
