Fans of actor Chiwetalu Agu’s have taken to social media to pray for his speedy recovery after he shared a video of himself in the hospital.
In the clip shared on Instagram on Tuesday, Chiwetalu was seen receiving care from his wife and son, showing the support of his family during this difficult time.
He captioned the post, “My family and I would love to use this opportunity to appreciate Prophet Abel Tamunominabo Boma, @prophet_abel_boma who is making sure I receive quality medical care and spiritual care. Good God! My family and I are overwhelmed with gratitude for this man of God’s kindness and generosity. May our God continue to richly reward him. The revelation from God that proceeded from his mouth will not return void, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen! Once again, thank you, Prophet Abel.”
Fans took to the comment section, showing their concern and praying for the 69-year-old.
One wrote, “Speedy recovery, uncle.”
Another commented, “Our daddy God will strengthen you.”
One added, “Keep living in good and healthy body, sir, and God bless @prophet_abel_boma for all you do for our living legend.”
One said, “More recovery legend.”
One wrote, “May God sustain u and your family more. Amen.”
One prayed, “Get well soon, our legend.”
Chiwetalu has previously spoken about his health struggles, including a spiritual attack that led to a severe illness.
In August 2023, he revealed that he had been poisoned during a Nollywood event in Abuja, which required hospitalisation and medical treatment. He shared that items were removed from his body during treatment, highlighting the severity of the attack.
Chiwetalu’s situation is part of a wider concern affecting veteran Nollywood actors.
In March 2024, actor Amaechi Muonagor passed away after battling stroke and kidney-related diseases. He had been undergoing weekly dialysis and physiotherapy to manage the effects of the stroke. Similarly, Olumide Bakare died in April 2017 after a prolonged battle with heart and lung disease. He had suffered a cardiac arrest earlier that year and was hospitalized at the University College Hospital in Ibadan.
In November 2023, Agu himself called on the government to assist ailing actors, emphasising the importance of healthcare and financial support for those who have contributed significantly to the nation’s entertainment sector.
