He is struggling to stay alive at LUTH as he battles heart and liver diseases; "secondary prevention of repeat stroke," after battling a cardiovascular disease, otherwise known as stroke.
Speaking with The Nation newspaper, he recounted that his ailment began in 2009.
Since then, he has been undergoing series of diagnostic tests and costly medications.
All these have deprived him of any meaningful professional engagement in the movie industry; hence, he is suffering serious financial handicap.
Odumosu, who hails from Odogbolu in Ogun State and recently clocked 6o, said his vision was also failing.
"I have spent so much on these diseases. When it was first diagnosed, the doctors said the ailment was severe, that they would need to control its progression for it not to affect my kidneys. This they did, and I was happy they succeeded, but now, other serious ailments have set in, necessitating this battle of survival. I am not tired yet; I still want to continue to make people laugh, but my failing health is a terrible obstacle." he said
He also said he was experiencing memory loss due to the ailment, adding that it was time the government, corporate organisations and kind-hearted Nigerians rescued him from likely "untimely death."
He gave his bank details as:
Olukayode Olugbenga Odumosu;
Diamond Bank
Account number: 0036059543.
And his mobile telephone numbers: 08033535159 and 08096762254.
He added that his son, Tunde, could also be reached on 08174435105.
