Has OJB’s kidney collapsed again?
Music producer and singer, Babatunde Okungbowa popularly known as OJB has reportedly had a relapse of his kidney ailment and is on admission at the General Hospital, Lagos.
A report by Yes! magazine say the artist who had a successful kidney transplant in India last year was re-admitted in hospital two weeks ago.
A source at the hospital who spoke to the magazine said: “The medical experts who attended to OJB at the Lagos Hospital were shocked at the sudden relapse despite last year’s successful kidney transplant. They chided him for not going back to India for post-surgery check-ups as specified by the team of Indian doctors in the medical report given to him”.
When contacted, his third wife, Korede reportedly said: “I don’t want to say anything about it unless he talks about it himself. Have you called him? Because I have not seen the story and he has even warned me about it. So please I don’t want to have anything to do with it unless he talks about it himself. He warned me and I have to respect and obey my husband” she said.
His first wife, Mabel donated one of her kidneys to him when he was in need of a new one last year and he was believed to be doing well until this recent development.
