Nollywood actor Daddy Billy has shared a heartfelt account of his final moments with his colleague, Odira Nwobu, who d!ed in South Africa.
Earlier, Tori News reported that Nwobu died in the early hours of Monday, November 24.
In a video shared on his Facebook page, Billy said Nwobu struggled for his life and had been on medication for three days before the sudden demise.
According to Billy, the deceased, who forgot to take his medication before going to the club suddenly got everyone afraid over his health condition, saying,“We now got another call that Odira’s heart is beating fast again. From beating fast again, he was gone.”
He said, “It is unfortunate that he struggled for his life. Three days ago, Odira had that attack where the heart was beating so fast that you could see it. He was taken to the pharmacy, and his BP was checked, and it was about 171. The pharmacist was shocked and said he was lucky and that if he had wasted time, he would have been gone. It is either you would have had a stroke or you would have been gone.
“So that pharmacist explained and gave him some medication. Now Odira was taking the medication and became stable. On Sunday, he is out. Somewhere along the line, he did not take the BP tablet. In the evening, he started complaining about weakness. When we went out and walked for a little bit, he said ‘’no I am tired I can’t walk for too long but nobody was getting that sign..Nobody could say Odira where is your tablet. It escaped everyone’s mind.
“At a time he said I don’t think I need to continue, I want to go home. We kept moving until we went to a club. It was fun. He also posted videos. He was okay. From there, everyone said goodbye, back to his apartment. We now got another call that Odira’s heart is beating fast again. From beating fast again, he was gone.”
