Nollywood actor Olukayode Odumosu, popularly known as Pa
Kasumu, needs N12 million to address the health challenges that are pushing him
to the brink.
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 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."
