Desmond Elliot calls for help for ailing actor Prince James Uche

Baby faced actor, movie producer and lawmaker, Desmond Elliot, is seeking help from the public for ailing Nollywood actor, Prince James Uche, who has been ill for over a year.

Desmond took to his Instagram page today to solicit help and support for Prince James Uche whose worsening health condition is causing palpable fear in some quarters.

“When God Blesses U, Remember Others, Prince James Uche Nollywood Actor Has Been In Hospital Struggling To Live For Over One Year Now ( Kidney Failure ), My Fellow Artist, Great People &Friends, Please Support Him, He Need Dialysis, Medical Care &, Food To Survive. Send cash to PRINCE JAMES UCHE, WEMA BANK PLC 0232151677 OR ZENITH BANK PLC 1001063788.” Desmond wrote.

According to reports, the actor, who has been battling with different illnesses ranging from kidney failure to heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and high blood pressure, may have also suddenly gone blind at a private hospital located at House 7, Ç Close, 32 Road, Festac Town.

The actor has been bedridden for close to two years which has ultimately kept him out of the movie scene and also led to an eviction from his Gbagada home.

Following his lingering ailment, his wife, who could no longer cope with the burden of taking care of him and their three children, has reportedly abandoned him.
