“Thank God The Doctors say I am fully recovered in fact discharged already heading home any moment from now,” he said.

Olatilo was grateful to his wife, Folashade Olatilo, for her support as well as Nigerian “for their collective prayers” and well wishes leading to his recovery.

Debunking the death rumours in a viral video, Olatilo said: “Nothing is wrong with me. It is the fake news merchants… tell anyone you know that I am strong, nothing is wrong with me. I just want to rest.”
