Nollywood star actress, Kemi Afolabi, has been rushed to a hospital in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, as she suddenly fell sick. The actress, who is on pilgrimage, fell ill due to the stress associated with the hajj exercise.
According to a medical practitioner attached to the Lagos State Muslim Pilgrims Welfare Board (LSMPWB), Dr Abideen Aro, Afolabi had symptoms such as fever, headache, loss of appetite and weakness. Dr. Aro, who is working Lagos State Accident and Emergency Centre, said: ''We have warned the pilgrims before leaving Nigeria to use anti-malarial drugs as prophylaxis.
But unfortunately, in her case, she didn’t take the medication due to oversight.
