Reports reaching us right now has it that Nollywood actor and content creator, Bamidele Tope Saint, popularly known as Okemesi, has been hospitalized again after slipping into a coma due to complications from medication administered at a hospital.
His colleague, Jeff Owolewa, also known as Tony Montana, shared the news on his Instagram page on Monday, February 23, 2026.
He said; “Guys, Okemesi has been hospitalised again. He was sleeping all through Saturday and Sunday without having much appetite for food due to complications from the drugs that were given to him from the hospital when he was discharged last week.”
“I rushed to his house very early on Monday to take him to hospital. He was rejected in different hospitals including a government hospital in Igodo, the doctor refused to attend to him saying there’s no bed space. I have to take him back to the first private hospital that started his treatment. So they admitted him, and stabilised him.
“His breathing is improving. So, he has been in coma since Monday morning. They have placed him on oxygen. We’re all praying that he gets back on track.”
Before this recent development, Okemesi had appealed to the public for financial assistance after battling an illness that reportedly left him homeless.
