According to the Head, Public Relations Unit, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Mr. Deji Bobade , the octogenarian had fully recovered and was perfectly alright before being discharged.
He said, “Yes, Baba Sala has been discharged. We discharged him after giving him necessary medical care. He was on admission at the teaching hospital for a week. If he was not alright, we could not have discharged him.”
Pa Adejumo who is reputed for his rib-cracking comedy in his hey days, was rushed to the teaching hospital by his son, Mr. Emmanuel Adejumo Olaiya, even as anxiety mounted about the health status of the comedian.
Many people from various parts of the country started calling to ascertain what happened to the comedian. But, his son, repeatedly told newsmen that his father was responding to treatment.
He had told newsmen, “Baba Sala felt uncomfortable on Saturday and he was taken to Adewale Hospital in Ilesa and he was better. But, on Sunday, he felt sick again and was returned to the hospital. The doctor said he would need oxygen to treat him properly.
It was then our sister who is a matron in UCH, decided that we should bring him to Ibadan since the doctors’ strike had ended. There is no serious cause of his discomfort but I think it is old age. The symptom is common to old people,” he added.
