According to his friend Chioma Okoye  “Leo’s illness started three years ago, he was diagnosed with kidney failure. We started raising funds from the public, we reached out to different pastors, among all the pastors, pastor Suleiman was the only one that responded and actors stopped campaigning for money at that point. We had about 3 million plus. We stopped the campaign, two days later Leo flew to London, after three weeks his result came out well, he didn’t need a trasplant anymore, he came back to Nigeria and was placed on dialysis and food type.

Leo’s food type is not what you get in the regular market because of his illness, in as much as he got kidney revived back, he still needed dialysis three times a month. Right now, he has been trying to survive because there’s no money anymore, so we are back to it. His two kidneys are not functioning for the past ten days, he has not gone to the toilet.

At this point, he is in need of dialysis to make use of the toilet and a doctor advised we do a transplant immediately and it should not take longer than four weeks. The only way we can help him is to campaign for support from everybody with minimum of one thousand naira, so we can sort Leo out. Leo celebrated his 43 years birthday few months back. He has been married for 11 years with no child.
