Renowned Nigerian comedian and actor Ali Baba shared a harrowing experience with former military leader Gen. Sani Abacha on the Leadership Podcast with Stephen Akintayo. He described the incident as a “near-death experience” during Abacha’s presidency.

At an Abuja event, Ali Baba was tasked with introducing the Akwa Ibom cultural group. Noticing Abacha wearing sunglasses indoors, he boldly requested the president remove them, saying, “Your Excellency, it’s almost 10; don’t you want to see their performance?”

Abacha obliged, but tension escalated as DSS officers approached backstage. Fearing arrest, Ali Baba opted to sit beside Abacha instead of returning backstage.

 

“He made jokes about me, asking why I refused to go backstage. I replied, ‘Don’t worry, sir, they can arrest me here,'” Ali Baba recounted.

I’m Sick And Homeless – Nigerian Actor, Okemesi Cries Out For Help (Video)

Published

on

Bamidele Tope Saint, the Nigerian actor and content creator, who is popularly known as Okemesi, has appealed for help after an alleged spiritual attack reportedly left him homeless.

He made the plea on Thursday during an interview with his colleague, Tony Montana.

Okemesi, who has been away from the screen for almost a year, disclosed that he has been suffering from a spiritual attack that left him paralysed.

While calling on his fans for help, the actor stated that he is now homeless and helpless.

Actor 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?”

Okemesi responded: “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,” he stated.
