My Wife Has Received 96 Injections For Acute Pulminary Embolism – Alariwo Of Africa

Just last week it was widely reported that veteran singer, Rotimi Martins a.k.a Alariwo of Africa, was seriously sick and in need of money to care for himself.

But now, the singer in a recent chat with Punch has revealed that though he was in need of funds but was not bedridden as some people put it.

He explained that he is still planning on which of the countries to have the surgery done and has been taking pain relief drugs to subdue the pains on his scrotum.

In his words,

“I am still trying to find the right place to have it done. I have to choose India, Germany, Israel, England or America. I have been taking some drugs to slow down the pain in my scrotum until I am ready to undergo surgery. All I just need is enough funds to travel abroad and treat it.”

He further disclosed that things have not been easy for him as he tries to care for both his ill health and that of his wife who has been in the hospital for about a month which has seen him spending about N54,000 everyday for her treatment.

According to him,

“I have been going through a lot, these past weeks. My wife has been in the hospital for over one month. She has been down with acute pulmonary embolism. It has been very tough, but God has taken control. The doctors at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital said only a few people could survive the ailment. I am happy that she is one of them.

But her treatment has cost me quite a lot of money. I spent an average of N54,000 everyday for about 19 days. Apart from this, I was buying a drug called Clexin at N37,000 for her every week.

She received a total of about 96 injections altogether on her shoulder during the period that she was undergoing treatment. And all that while, I didn’t leave her bedside. I was with her in the hospital,” Alariwo said.
