The former Vice President of the Actors Guild
of Nigeria and seasoned actor is still struggling to survive the
strange illness that has kept him off the screen for eight years ago
To make matters worse, Uche’s landlord has
just served him a notice, ordering him to quit his residence at 45,
Yetunde Brown Street, Gbagada, Lagos
The ailing actor, who now spends most of his
time in the premises of a Catholic church near his residence, in an
interview recounted how he found himself in his present condition.
Reacting to his condition and how his
colleagues have risen for his help, National President of the Actors
Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima in a statement on Tuesday
said: “The National Executive Council of the Actors Guild of Nigeria
would like to react to the story making the rounds especially in the
social media that AGN has abandoned Actor, Prince James Uche.”
“The Guild took over the responsibility of
Prince James Uche in September 2013, when we got the information about
his health issue. The National President visited him and he refused to
be taken to hospital or go on the health plan of the Guild. That he
wanted cash. N100,000 was given to him.”
“In May 2014, we visited him again to check
on him and this is what followed. We took him to R. Jolad Hospital
Gbagada, Lagos State; comprehensive tests were conducted and were
diagnosed of complications arising from HBP/Hypertension which led to
stroke of the eye.”
“He was admitted and well treated at the hospital for over a week before he was certified well and discharged by the doctor.”
“After that, we took him to Eye Foundation
for further optical treatment. Series of tests were conducted on him and
was diagnosed of complications arising from the primary ailment of
HBP/hypertension.”
“The medical team discovered that the eye
vessel that supplies blood to the eyes was damaged as a result of a
stroke he suffered many years ago, and nothing could be done.”
