Nollywood veteran Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has lamented the death of her cousin.
The actress revealed that the man named Jalad died in the United Kingdom, adding that his passing was particularly hurting because he was alone when he passed away (doctors could not attend to him because of the COVID-19 crisis).
The ageless star disclosed the heartbreaking news on Twitter, blaming the UK’s health system for her cousin’s demise.
She wrote:
“I lost a dear cousin yesterday in London. I am hurting. He didn’t get Covid-19. He died from a kidney transplant complication, couldn’t get proper healthcare because the hospitals were focused on covid and help didn’t get to him fast enough. How sad.”

Smh .. Jalad is gone. ???? He died alone. Jalad was too loved to die alone. The health system in UK failed him. https://t.co/XfQmNsyIpS
