My Sickness Is A Spiritual Attack - Veteran Actor, Pa Kasumu

Kayode Odumosu sometimes referred to as Pa Kasumu, a veteran actor, has been open to the public about his illness, saying it's a supernatural attack and not a disease that conventional medicine can handle.

While speaking in an interview with The Punch, the actor said that all he needs to get back to his feet is prayers and not even financial aid from well-wishers and well-meaning Nigerians.

Pa Kasumu said,

[i]“For now, I don’t need any help. All I need is prayer. All I can say about my sickness is that it is spiritual. That’s why I said it requires prayer. I’m currently at a church camp for its annual congress. God should take care of me. I will stay at the camp till the congress ends.”[/i]

When he fell ill 10 years ago, the star, who was absent from the scene, reveated that he was searching for spiritual support for the first time.

He even denied suggestions that he is bliny now.

He said,

[i]“RCCG is the first place I’ve gone for prayers. But, they have also been praying for me in my church in Sabo, Yaba, Lagos. I came from Abeokuta to the camp today (Wednesday).[/i]

[i]“The doctors are just saying their own. They said I had a partial stroke. It affected my left side and to some extent, my sight.[/i]

[i]“My wife and children have been taking care of me. The sickness started a long time ago. But I had the partial stroke nine years ago.”[/i]

Reacting to reports of his smoking habits, Kasumu said that the people were simply "talking rubbish."
