Veteran Nollywood actor, Kola Oyewo has opened up about his prolonged absence from the screen, revealing that a battle with prostate enlargement kept him away from acting.
Speaking during a visit by fellow actor, Kunle Afod, Oyewo shared that the illness significantly limited his ability to take on demanding roles.
He said; “Before now, I could go from one location to another and play any role, but the illness has laid me back. I can no longer play certain roles except for some minor roles.
“I thank God because I’m getting better now. You can’t go through some kind of sickness and go back to how you’ve been before, but I thank God.”
“There are so many people of my age that are still stronger than I am, but I thank God for preserving my life. I drove myself to the hospital after having sleepless nights, frequent urination and sometimes urinating on my body before I got to the toilet. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate.”
