ghost after a brief illness. The news was broken by a close source that stays
around the hospital he gave up the ghost. We will keep u updated with further
information on this.”
Pa
Kasumu’s health became a concern for members of the public when a video of his
frail state surfaced online last year.
At
the time, the late actor in an interview said that all he needs are
fervent prayers and not financial aid from well-wishers and well-meaning
Nigerians.
He
also disclosed that his sickness is of a spiritual nature and not medical as
many have presumed.
In
the December 2019 interview, he also dismissed viral reports that he had gone
blind.
According
to him, he had a partial stroke that affected his left side and to some extent
his sight.
Reacting
to reports that his smoking habits contributed to his sickness, Pa Kasumu said
people were just ‘talking rubbish’.
Prior
to his death, the actor has not been active in the movie scene since he fell
sick about ten years ago.
