February 06, (THEWILL) — Nigerian actor and content creator Bamidele Tope Saint, popularly known as Okemesi, has made an emotional appeal for help after an alleged spiritual attack left him paralyzed and homeless.
Speaking in an interview with colleague Tony Montana, Okemesi revealed that he has been battling the condition for nearly a year, adding that his health continued to decline despite receiving medical treatment.
According to the actor, the ordeal started with a serious illness that left him unable to speak or stand.
He was taken to a hospital, where people donated money to support his treatment, but his condition did not improve.
“I was taken to a hospital, and people donated to foot my bills. But we realized it was beyond the hospital when my condition worsened,” he said.
Okemesi explained that his relatives later decided to seek spiritual help and took him to Osogbo.
“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. It was the prayers from people and God’s miracles that revived me. I couldn’t talk or stand,” he added.
He said his condition began to improve after receiving spiritual items from the cleric.
“I began to walk with crutches a few hours after the Alfa gave me some spiritual items to use the same day I arrived,” Okemesi recalled.
However, the actor said his problems continued even though his condition improved. He explained that issues involving his brother forced him to leave his brother’s home.
Now without a place of his own and struggling to meet basic needs, Okemesi said life has become very difficult.
“I don’t have a place to sleep, I don’t have anything. In fact, it’s difficult to feed,” he stated.
Appealing to his supporters, he said, “My fans, you are the only thing left for me. Please, I need your help to get back on my feet, especially with accommodation.”
Okemesi is a Nigerian actor and content creator known for his roles in Yoruba movies and short comedy skits on social media.
