Actor Bamidele Tope Saint, popularly known as Okemesi, has pleaded for help over alleged spiritual attack that left him homeless and paralysed.
In an interview with colleague Tony Montana, Okemesi revealed he has been suffering for almost a year, with his condition worsening despite medical treatment.
According to Okemesi, the attack began with a severe illness that left him crippled and unable to speak or stand.
After seeking medical attention at a Hospital, Okemesi said his condition persisted, prompting him to visit an Islamic cleric for spiritual assistance.
He attributed prayers and spiritual intervention for his gradual recovery.
Appealing fans for support, particularly, accommodation, Okemesi said he is now facing homelessness, relying on church premises for shelter, and struggling to meet basic needs.
Okemesi said, “It was a spiritual attack. May God protect us from spiritual arrows. I was taken to a 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.
